A woman angered by her husband's refusal to give her money arranged for two men to break-in and rob him of more than $2,500 as he slept, police said.

Beth Ortiz, 35, had argued with her husband, Valente Ortiz, 28, about money last Friday and left their apartment, police said.

Before going to bed, Valente Ortiz left the apartment unlocked, expecting his wife's return, police said. Instead, he told police, he was awakened by two men who rifled through his pants, taking cash from his wallet and pocket. One of the men allegedly punched him, police said.

Raymond Alleyne, 22, and Anthony Perkins, 20, both of Nashua, were arrested after police found them with Beth Ortiz at another apartment. Beth Ortiz was charged with conspiracy, Alleyne with burglary, and Perkins with burglary and simple assault.
