Officers with the Quinte West Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have made quick arrests after a home invasion.
Officers were called to a home on Adrian Court in Quinte West on Monday, October 13, 2025, shortly after 8:00 p.m. Residents of an apartment reported being robbed in their home by three individuals armed with a gun and a knife. One of the residents was assaulted but did not suffer serious injuries.
Numerous items and cash were taken, and the individuals forced the victims to transfer money from their bank accounts to another account.
One person was arrested in the area and officers determined the other two suspects were in another apartment. Members of the OPP Emergency Response Team surrounded the location, and the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) was called in.
Within minutes of the TRU team’s arrival, two men were safely taken into custody.
