CLAYTON — A man and a woman being sought by state police Wednesday in a home invasion here were arrested later in the day.

The victim of the alleged home invasion Tuesday night and the four people accused in the burglary all were jailed Wednesday following a state police investigation.

With the midday arrest of Zane K. Abrahamson, 23, Fort Drum, police recovered a laptop computer and a cellphone that allegedly were stolen from the home of Jacob J. Traynor, 735 James St., according to documents filed in Clayton Town Court.

Chelsea D. Sheehy, 20, of 845 Starbuck Ave., Watertown, surrendered to troopers Wednesday night.

As a result of the investigation, the crime victim and the four people charged with second-degree burglary were arraigned before Town Justice Clarence F. Giles Jr. and sent to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown:

■ Mr. Traynor, 20, is charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Police said he had several packets of heroin and a shotgun. Bail was set at $20,000.

■ Mr. Abrahamson is charged with second-degree burglary and bail was set at $5,000.

■ Miss Sheehy was charged with second-degree burglary and her bail is $7,500.

■ Brooke E. Staniski, 20, also of 845 Starbuck Ave., also charged with second-degree burglary, is being held on $20,000 bail.

■ Byron L. Wyche, 19, Fort Drum, also was charged with second-degree burglary, andhas bail set at $20,000.

Police said the two women entered the Traynor home shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday and purposely left the front door open for their accomplices.

The intrusion was planned because the suspects believed there would be money in the house, as the victim’s father had won $1 million in the Pennsylvania lottery, police said. They found no money.
