An 18-year-old has been charged after a woman caught sight of an intruder inside her residence late in the evening July 13 in North Bay.
It turned out the suspect had a revolver loaded with a blank in his bag, as well as illegal drugs.
The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. when the woman, who was outside, noticed someone was in her home.
“The victim and a witness entered the residence and a physical altercation between them and the accused occurred,” North Bay police said in a news release Monday.
“During the altercation, the victim and witness seized a handgun that the accused had in a bag on his person. The accused then fled the location.”
