On Tuesday, February 11, the Laval Police Service (SPL) arrested three suspects in connection with a home invasion followed by an armed assault that occurred a few days earlier in Saint-François.
It should be recalled that on the evening of Monday, February 3, SPL officers were called to intervene at a single-family home on Boulevard des Mille-Îles following a reported home invasion.
Armed Violence
Three suspects allegedly broke into the residence, holding the two victims— a 54-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman— hostage.
A confrontation reportedly broke out between the suspects and the male victim, who sustained minor injuries from a bladed weapon.
The suspects quickly fled after attempting to extort a significant sum of money from the residents.
The injured victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
It is worth noting that one of the two individuals targeted in this home invasion was already known to the police.
Arrests and Court Appearance
“The investigators from the Crimes Against Persons squad worked tirelessly to apprehend the three suspects in this case within a short period,” stated Laval police in a press release. “The collaboration between our different squads, as well as the use of various investigative techniques, was crucial in successfully carrying out this operation.”
Two of the three suspects face charges of breaking and entering, armed assault, forcible confinement, and extortion.
After meeting with SPL investigators, the two men, aged 20 and 36, were released under certain conditions.
The third suspect, 27-year-old Samuel Pouliot, remains in custody. He faces charges of breaking and entering, armed assault, assault causing bodily harm, extortion, and forcible confinement.
His case is scheduled to return to the Quebec Court on Thursday, March 6.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Laval police confidentially via their tip line at 450-662-INFO (4636) or by dialing 911 and mentioning file number LVL250203-087.
