(CNS): A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a home invasion that took place on Tuesday at a home on Anne Bonny Crescent in South Sound, in which two thieves made off with a safe after locking the homeowner in a room. The young man was rounded up later that same day and officers investigating the crime charged him yesterday, Thursday 10 February, with aggravated burglary and related offences. He was due to appear in court today.
