Essex Grand Jury Indicts Suspect on 10 Counts in $8 Million Beverly Mansion Heist

The move puts the Beverly home-invasion case under Superior Court scrutiny.

Overview

  • Emajae Brown, 25, was indicted on 10 charges that include armed burglary, home invasion, kidnapping, assault with a dangerous weapon, and larceny.
  • He remains held without bail as the case moves from district court to Essex Superior Court.
  • Prosecutors say two masked intruders hit the Rock Edge estate owned by Thomas J. Swan III, where a housekeeper was threatened at gunpoint, assaulted, and tied up.
  • Investigators say the intruder left in the owner’s Porsche, which was later found in a Lynn cemetery, and they recovered about $300,000 in cash and numerous gold items from Brown’s car during his arrest.
  • Police cite Ring doorbell video, Flock license-plate readers, and a sandal match to prior booking photos in identifying Brown, and they continue to pursue a second participant and review the role of an ex-girlfriend who worked at the home.
