2 Charged In EN Condo Break-In


Deputies arrested two men on felony charges Tuesday in connection with a break-in at an East Naples condominium earlier this month.

Benson Andrew Cineas, 19, 1130 Central Ave., East Naples, and Shawn Elmhdati, 28, of Lehigh Acres, were each charged with burglary and grand theft.

Arrest reports say Cineas and Elmhdati broke into a condo at 103 Glades Blvd. by smashing a window and climbing inside around 2 a.m. on Oct. 2. A witness told deputies she saw Cineas and Elmhdati leaving the condo carrying jewelry and beer, reports said.

Cineas returned to the condo around 10 a.m. and stole a computer, printer and speakers, reports said.

Deputies located Cineas and Elmhdati on Tuesday and arrested them, reports said.
