Four people have been arrested after an Oakville home invasion investigation led to the alleged seizure of multiple guns and drugs.
Halton police say on Feb. 24 at around 10 a.m., three people in masks allegedly forced entry through the front door of a home on Settlers Road. One of the suspects was allegedly armed with a hammer.
A woman in the home was confronted by the suspects and was allegedly confined to a closet as the suspects stole designer clothing totaling over $70,000, according to investigators.
The suspects fled the scene in a Honda CRV. No physical injuries were reported.
After an investigation, police executed search warrants at homes in Brantford on March 13.
The items allegedly seized during the execution of the search warrants were drugs, including 12 ounces of fentanyl, a kilogram of cocaine, 120 hydromorphone pills, 25 ounces of methamphetamine and 4.5 ounces of crack cocaine, three firearms and multiple rounds of ammunition.
