Two suspects have been formally charged and remanded in custody after an alleged home invasion last Thursday, August 16, 2018, in the 4000 block of Liverpool Street, Port Coquitlam.
The accused are:
Jerome Jerald Buckner, a 33-year-old man from Maple Ridge, who faces charges of forcible confinement, break and enter, and assault.
Robert Callender, a 36-year-old Surrey man, who has also been charged with forcible confinement, break and enter, and assault.
Police traced the suspects from Port Coquitlam to a house in the 10300 block of Slatford Place, Maple Ridge, which was then surrounded and secured. In the 24 hours following the home invasion, a total of eleven people were arrested at the house with no injuries to the suspects or police.
One of the two victims of the alleged home invasion is recovering from minor injuries.
The investigation is not over and more charges are possible, but nine of the eleven people who were arrested over the weekend have currently been released with no charges. The motive for this crime is still under investigation.
