  • Armed break and enter in Victoria

Police in Victoria say two people have been arrested after reports of an armed break and enter at a residential building in the city.

They say officers responded to the building in James Bay, after receiving a call about the break-in and reports of what appeared to be a handgun next to them.

Police say the two people were arrested and taken into custody three hours later, just before 11 A-M.

They say no one was injured and the reported handgun was a realistic airsoft gun.
