UPDATE: Charges Laid In Windsor Home Invasion

Two men from the Toronto area are in police custody after a home invasion on Jefferson Blvd. at S. National St. in Windsor.

Officers were called to the area on Thursday around 2:15am, after someone in the neighbourhood reported a suspicious vehicle, which two men got out of wearing ski masks.

The driver of the vehicle was soon arrested and police learned that a nearby home had been broken into.

Police say the suspects had fled the area, but not before allegedly assaulting the 54-year-old victim of the break-in. He was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Officers on patrol were eventually able to track down two men who were running from the area.

A 29 and 21-year-old face a total of 11 charges, including robbery, assault and break and enter.

The driver of the suspicious vehicle was released.
