Charges have been approved against two men after a Prince George home invasion in which the suspects demanded the occupants to hand over a dog.
Shayn Robert Bulmer and Dylon Sadillo McLemore, both local residents aged 23, were arrested after trying to flee Friday night (May 29) as RCMP responded to reports of a possible break-and-enter in the VLA area of the city.
Around 6:30 p.m., police went to a home on 1800-block Tamarack St. where the suspect raced towards the back door, but were taken into custody shortly after.
Investigators say this appeared to be a targeted attack as it’s believed Bulmer and McLemore left behind several firearms while demanding two male occupants to hand over a dog.
Police found a rifle, a BB gun that resembled an assault-style rifle and body armour.
Fortunately, nobody was injured, but Mounties also say both men and one of the victims knew each other.
A toddler was also sleeping in the home during the invasion and was also unharmed.
A Prince George RCMP release states the BC Prosecution Service has approved the following charges to both Bulmer and McLemore:
- Break-and-enter to commit indictable offence
- Possession of a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence
- Assault with a weapon (Two counts)
Both are scheduled to appear in court tomorrow (June 2) with more charges also being considered as the investigation continues.
