Police made three arrests in home invasion case that emerged on Saturday in the 2100 block of Norwood Street. Those already in custody on suspicion of breaking into the home, stealing from it, and assaulting the residents (including sexual violence) are:

Still wanted in relation to these allegations:
Aron Leif Johnson, 26 years old from Prince George described as a slim Caucasian male with short ,blonde hair and blue eyes, five-foot-five, and 135 pounds.
"Officers believe that four males wearing masks forcibly entered the residence and stole a quantity of cash and jewelry," explained police spokesman Cpl. Craig Douglass. "In the process, a male and two females were assaulted. One female was transported to the University Hospital of Northern BC, was checked by medical personnel and released. After further investigation, it has been determined that one of the females was sexually assaulted."
The three in-custody suspects were arrested on Tuesday, with a warrant issued for the one still at large. Crown has approved multiple charges against the suspects and court proceedings began Wednesday on the matter.
"The suspects and the victims were known to each other," said Douglass. "Although Aron Leif Johnson is well known to police and has an extensive criminal history, investigators believe this was a targeted offence and that there is no threat to the public at this time."
