CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Two men have now been charged in connection to home invasion in Chesterfield, where two children were held at gunpoint. A teen in the home is credited with calling 911 and getting help quickly.



Michael Brown and Marquis Mason have been charged with a number of crimes, including grand larceny, burglary, firearms charges, and a number of other charges.



Two Chesterfield kids were home alone Wednesday afternoon when police confirm the two men got into the home on Clivendon Court and used a gun to threaten the kids during the burglary.



According to a neighbor, the suspects knocked on the front door of the home. The oldest child, described as a middle school student, was babysitting his toddler sibling. The teen's parents had warned him to call 911 if anyone knocked, because of ongoing suspicious activity in the neighborhood. Just days before, a leaf blower had been taken. Another neighbor had noticed suspicious men in his yard.



"They said if anyone knocks on that door, we're not expecting anyone at the door," said neighbor David Britton. "If anyone knocks at the door call the police."



Thankfully, the teen followed his parents instructions, because Britton says the suspects then went to the back of the home and entered a window to get access to the home, where we're told suspects pointed a gun at the two kids, making demands.
