2 more students arrested in Breakers' break-in

NEWPORT -- Two more Salve Regina University students have been arrested in connection with a recent break-in at the Breakers mansion that resulted in the theft of more than $100,000 worth of small items.

Newport Police announced the additional arrests this afternoon -- bringing the total number of Salve Regina students charged to four, all of them freshmen.

Avery W. Lloyd, 19, of Portland, Maine, and William C. Elliott, 18, of Peabody, Mass., were charged this afternoon with one count each of breaking and entering. Police allege the two into the mansion one night, while two other men arrested yesterday broke in on two consecutive nights.

University officials said the students are facing punishments ranging from suspension to expulsion.
