NANTICOKE — City police arrested Nicholas Jamilowski for his alleged role in ransacking a residence on Enterprise Street earlier this month.

Jamilowski was deemed by police as a person-of-interest when Erika May Bowersox, 28, and William Davis McDowell, 32, were arrested on allegations they burglarized an occupied home in the 100 block of East Noble Street just after 6 a.m. on Jan. 12.

About 90 minutes earlier on the same day, court records say the threesome teamed up to burglarized the Enterprise Street home at about 4:41 a.m., five minutes after the homeowner left for work.

Surveillance cameras recorded three people loitering outside the Enterprise Street home, police said.

Jamilowski was arraigned Wednesday night by District Judge Joseph Spagnuolo Jr. in Plains Township on charges of burglary, criminal trespass, theft and criminal conspiracy. He was jailed without bail at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility.

According to the criminal complaint:

The homeowner left his house at 4:41 a.m. to go to work and when he returned home just before 4 p.m., he discovered his home was burglarized.

Police said surveillance cameras recorded three people walking around the Enterprise Street home with one person appeared to be carrying a pry bar. They were also recorded carrying boxes from the house.

Pry marks were found around a basement window.

A video game system, video games, knives and batteries were stolen from the house, the complaint says.

Storage containers for video games were recovered from a neighbor’s yard.

In a related case, police arrested McDowell minutes after he allegedly burglarized the occupied home on East Noble Street. Hours later, Bowersox was arrested at her residence for the East Noble Street heist.

During interviews with police, Bowersox and McDowell implicated Jamilowski in the burglary on Enterprise Street, the complaint says.

Bowersox allegedly told police video gaming equipment sell “quick.”

Police recovered items from Bowersox’s residence on West Union Street in Nanticoke on Jan. 13.

Bowersox and McDowell have not been charged for the Enterprise Street burglary but have been charged for the East Noble Street burglary and for ransacking a home on East Main Street in Hanover Township on Jan. 11, court records say.
