  • Masked Suspects Arrested In Victoria-area Home Invasion
Charges of using a weapon and disguise during a robbery are being laid against three youth after a home invasion in Langford, B.C.

Police were in the area and quickly arrested two suspects, aged 16 and 17.
 
A third youth turned himself into police later in the day.
