DANVILLE, N.H.- Authorities have charged a father, son and grandson for allegedly breaking into a home Tuesday evening, while a 12-year-old boy was home alone.

According to Police John Wilder, his son Nathan and a juvenile have been charged out of the break-in, as the young boy told police three people wearing masks, carrying baseball bats made their way into the home and yelled, “No more drugs better be sold in the neighborhood.”

Once hidden the boy contacted a friend on social media app Snapchat and asked him to call for help.

Following his arrest John Wilder told police he, his son and grandson did in fact break into the home, as they were upset over the fact someone at the home was selling drugs.

The Wilders have since been released and ordered to have no contact with the man who lives at the home and was the apparent target of the break-in.
