Four suspects, mostly teens, are behind bars after deputies say they were involved in an attempted armed home invasion.
On January 30, York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Deputies responded around 1:30 p.m. to a home in the 100 block of Douglas Drive, which is in the Carver Gardens neighborhood, for a report of an armed home invasion in progress.
The caller was reporting that four males, one armed with an assault rifle, were attempting to forcibly enter the residence, deputies say.
The caller also stated, according to deputies, that there were small children in the house. Sheriff’s deputies in the vicinity say they quickly responded.
The suspects fled on foot and the victim was able to give a description of the vehicle that had brought them to the house.
The victim also stated that he knew the four suspects. Sheriff’s deputies say they quickly located the vehicle with the four suspects inside, and they were taken into custody.
The assault rifle described by the victim was not located in the vehicle that the suspects were in, deputies explained. Deputy Sheriff Ashley Octaviano and her K9 partner, Ghost, responded to the scene.
