Four charged in home invasion, robbery

Four people are facing charges after a home invasion and robbery in southwest London.

Around 8:30 a.m. on March 9, two men were assaulted by three men and a woman at a apartment on Baseline Road West near Beechwood Avenue, according to London police.

"Two of the four suspects produced weapons, including a knife and an expandable baton," police said in a news release issued Tuesday. "The suspects assaulted the victims, then fled from the apartment with property belonging to the victims."

Police say a neighbour called 9-1-1, but a search of the area by officers did not results in any arrests.

An investigation by the Street Crime Unit led to the arrests of three suspects on Monday. One suspect was already in custody on an unrelated matter.

A 28-year-old man, a 24-year-old woman, a 35-year-old man, and a 52-year-old man are each charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of forcible entry.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to www.londoncrimestoppers.com
