Two 27-year-old men face a slew of charges for an armed home invasion in Milton last month.
Halton Regional Police say three suspects allegedly broke into a home on Jan. 12 at 12:52 a.m. in the Walnut Landing-Proud Dr. Area.
Police said two of the home invaders were armed with handguns and the third was brandishing a hammer before confronting an adult male resident at the home while an adult female resident hid within the home.
Cops said designer clothing items, jewelry, bank cards and keys to a Dodge Durango were stolen and the trio of crooks fled in an awaiting Honda Civic hatchback driven by a fourth person.
The victims were not physically injured.
