A suspect charged in relation to an alleged home invasion in Guysborough Co. is expected back in court Monday.
Police say they were called following an incident at a home in Canso in May 2018.
They say a man broke into a home, assaulted a 55-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman inside, and left; the victims weren’t injured.
RCMP say a man from Little Dover man turned himself in at their Bible Hill detachment later.
Coady Robert Avery, 27, originally faced five charges- break-and-enter into a residence, assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.
Avery pleaded guilty to the break-and-enter and two assault counts during an election-and-plea hearing in October; the Crown withdrew his other two charges.
He’s scheduled to return to Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court for sentencing after the hearing was adjourned four times.
Police say it was an isolated incident, and all three people involved knew each other.
