Man Wanted In Violent Bucks Co. Home Invasion Taken Into Custody

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A Lansdowne man was taken into custody on Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service Philadelphia for a violent home invasion that happened in April in Bucks County.

Hassan Nelson, 24, was arrested in Delaware County on a warrant out of Northampton Township where he is charged with 20 felony counts including burglary, robbery, receiving stolen property, theft, firearms not to be carried without a license, criminal trespassing, conspiracy, and multiple misdemeanors for simple assault and terroristic threats.

The violent home invasion happened on April 13 in the Ivyland section of the township.

Police said the homeowner met Daiquan Savage, 26, through a luxury dating app and invited her to his Breckenridge Drive house for sex. She arrived around 1 a.m. and left around 2 a.m., the homeowner told police.

Almost immediately after she left, she sent the victim a text that she had left something at his house, according to a probable cause affidavit.

When the homeowner let her back in the house, he was forced to the ground by two men with black handguns. He told police he was shoved to the ground, pistol whipped in the back of his head.

Daiquan Savage, 26, of Philadelphia.

With a gun pointed at his head, he told police his attackers led him through the house stealing various items including jewelry, vehicle titles, car keys, liquor bottles, expensive watches, cell phones and other items.

Included in the theft were three $500 CashApp transactions that were transferred from his account without his permission to an unknown account.

The suspects fled the scene in a black Ford Taurus that Savage arrived in earlier that night, the homeowner told police.

By utilizing local traffic cameras, police were able to track the vehicle as it drove through the township. Philadelphia Police also reported a license plate reader report of the vehicle at 3:50 a.m. on Frankford Avenue. Registration on the vehicle came back as belonging to Nelson.

During questioning by police, Nelson at first denied driving the Taurus on April 13 and said it was parked at his home. He later changed his story when police confronted him with images showing the car in Northampton.

Police also tracked pings from Nelson's cell phone to towers around the victim's home around the time of the incident, and recovered stolen evidence from Nelson's car, including two valuable watches belonging to the homeowner.

The Marshals Service is still seeking Daiquan Savage, 26, from Southwest Philadelphia, who remains at large.

Savage is charged with 17 felony counts, including robbery, burglary, theft by unlawful taking, firearms not to be carried without a license, and criminal trespassing, along with a number of misdemeanors including simple assault and terorisic threats.
