Berks County man arrested after armed Warwick Township home invasion

Luis Angel Lopez Jr., 37, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals and faces multiple charges including robbery, burglary, kidnapping and possessing a prohibited firearm for his alleged role in a June 28 armed burglary where he pistol‑whipped a man and two 14‑year‑olds were held at gunpoint. An 18‑year‑old co‑defendant, Hector Luis Martinez Jr., is separately charged; investigators say Lopez was masked, demanded the victim’s safe and cash, fired a handgun while fleeing, and later forced a couple at gunpoint to drive him to a Berks County address. Lopez — prohibited from possessing firearms because of prior felony convictions — remains jailed awaiting arraignment; authorities identified him via a social media photo and phone records linking him to Martinez.
