University Police arrested the two remaining suspects in Thursday morning’s home invasion in Leonardtown.

Police obtained arrest warrants for Gabriel Cadiz, a 20-year-old from Philadelphia, Pa., and Nathaniel Clinton Smith, a 21-year-old from Camden, N.J., Thursday, but did not publicize the warrants for fear the men would flee the state, University Police spokesman Capt. John Brandt said.

Police obtained contact information for Cadiz and Smith and negotiated a deal with them. The men turned themselves into University Police at about 8 p.m. Thursday, were interviewed and then criminally charged, Brandt said. He declined to comment on the deal reached with Cadiz and Smith.

Police said Cadiz is being held on $100,000 bond, and information about Smith’s bond was not available. Both were charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit assault, first-degree burglary, theft over $500 and theft under $500.

Tyrone Derell Walker, 20, of Cherry Hill, N.J., was arrested earlier on Thursday and is being held on $250,000 bond. He is facing charges of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, first-degree assault, theft over $500 and false imprisonment.

Brandt said police interviews confirmed the robbery was targeted. Police said Thursday they believed at least one of the suspects had been to the apartment before to “scope it out.”

Police retrieved the two stolen laptops when they arrested Cadiz and Smith, and recovered the stolen iPod, which was discarded after the robbery, earlier, Brandt said. He added that police do not believe they have found the suspect’s weapons, described Thursday as a shotgun.

Sophomore business major Joel Pallikal, one of the victims of the armed robbery, said he and his roommates have moved out of their Leonardtown residence and are trying to “restore normalcy.” However, they still don’t think the greater problem is solved.

“Yeah, this is over, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop pushing for better security,” Pallikal said. “It’s plausible that this could happen again, and we don’t want people to go through what we went through.”

Brandt advised students to be aware of their surroundings and to always check who is at the door before opening it.

“In my experience, people just say ‘Come in,’ it doesn’t cross their mind that this is the front door of their home,” Brandt said. “You don’t just let anyone in your home.”

He added that he believes students are less likely to check who is at the door in an on-campus environment because they see their dorms as having an open-door policy rather than being a home.
