A 15-year-old boy is facing five charges from last month’s violent home invasion in Rossland.
He was arrested in a Nevada St residence where a 26-year-old Beaver Falls man was stabbed.
RCMP say two masked intruders stormed into the residence on the 19-hundred block at about 2 a.m. on Sat May 3.
One suspect was taken into custody and police say the other one fled.
The youth appeared in court and was released. He is due back in Rossland Court on June 26.
The boy is charged with aggravated assault, break and enter, possessing a weapon, wearing a disguise while intending to commit a crime and mischief.
RCMP recently asked for tips as the search continues for the other masked attacker and an accomplice.
Police are also on the lookout for a dark coloured truck with a canopy and loud exhaust.
Investigators are still keen to speak with anyone who has video or dash cam footage from the 19-hundred block of Nevada St between 2-and-3 a.m. from Sat May 3.
The victim is expected to make a full recovery.
