Man Arrested for Home Invasion: Chandra Mangar Accused of Breaking into Neighbor’s Antioch Home

Accident – Death – Obituary News : Antioch, Tenn. – In a shocking turn of events, a man has been charged with felony aggravated burglary after allegedly breaking into his neighbor’s home. The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 14, on the 2100 block of Preserve Circle. Metro police responded to a call regarding a home invasion and upon arrival, encountered the victim and the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Chandra Mangar.

According to the victim, he was asleep in his bedroom when he was awakened by the sound of glass breaking downstairs. Upon investigating, he discovered a masked individual in his living room. In a twist of fate, the victim managed to restrain the suspect and remove his mask, only to find out that it was his neighbor, Chandra Mangar.

Mangar claimed that he had been forced by five individuals at gunpoint to enter his neighbor’s home and steal items. However, the victim was not convinced by his story and handed over video footage to the police. The footage, which overlooked the victim’s backyard, allegedly showed a man wearing a brown jacket and a ski mask. The man in the video walked towards the camera and pointed it upwards.

Interestingly, the victim’s family was out of state during the incident, celebrating the Festival of Lights. This cultural celebration is well-known among the Nepalese community, to which both the victim and Mangar belong. This led investigators to believe that Mangar had targeted the victim’s home under the assumption that the family would be away.

In a surprising twist, Mangar gave officers permission to search his own home. During the search, the police discovered a brown jacket and a ski mask, further strengthening the case against him. Eventually, Mangar admitted to being inside the victim’s residence, leading to his arrest.

Mangar now faces a felony charge of aggravated burglary. He is currently being held in custody on a $76,000 bond. The incident has left the Antioch community in shock, as neighbors grapple with the idea that one of their own could be responsible for such a brazen act.

The police are continuing their investigation into the matter, and residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. This incident serves as a reminder for everyone to prioritize home security and to look out for one another in their communities.

As the case progresses, more details may emerge, shedding light on the motives behind this shocking burglary. In the meantime, the victim and his family can find solace in the fact that their quick thinking and the assistance of law enforcement led to the apprehension of the suspect..
