Oneida County home invasion: One suspect still at large while two others jailed on numerous charges, police say

ROME- A local suspect is still at large, while two others are being held behind bars in the wake of a home invasion Monday in Oneida County.

It was shortly after midnight when Rome City Police were called out to check on a house at 729 W. Liberty Street after dispatchers received a 9-1-1 hang-up call.

Witnesses told police that numerous subjects entered the address, without permission. During the intrusion, police determined a woman was held down and robbed of property, ultimately left with injuries.

Furthermore, police learned a male victim was smashed in the face with a cast iron frying pan, causing significant injuries to his head.

*A correction was made to the sentence above, with the word frying being corrected from a typo (drying).

Nearly twelve-hours later, police said the two of the suspects returned to the address and were caught, despite attempts to flee.

Nicholas R. Tennant, 25, of Rome, NY is officially charged with counts of robbery in the first-degree, criminal possession of a weapon, endangering the welfare of a child, unlawful imprisonment and harassment. Kenneth G. Tennant, 35, of Taberg, NY is charged with counts of robbery in the first-degree and endangering the welfare of a child.
