St. Thomas police search for suspect in home invasion

After a violent home invasion on Sunday morning, St. Thomas police are searching for a man they believe was involved in the incident.

Around 2:40 a.m. on January 29, police say two men broke into a home in the north end of St. Thomas. The suspects allegedly forced their way through the door, assaulted somebody inside the home, and fled the scene on foot with a third person.

Police believe 33-year-old Daniel Corlett was involved in the home invasion. He is facing several charges including break and enter, assault with a weapon, and possession of a firearm.

The accused may also be connected to a second home invasion that happened on the same night.

"Corlett remains outstanding and a warrant is being sought," said a statement from the St. Thomas Police Service. "Police have not identified the second male involved and are seeking the public's assistance."

The public is advised to not approach Corlett.

Anyone who may have information about the incident or who may know the whereabouts of the accused is asked to contact St. Thomas police at 519-631-1224 or submit a tip through Crime Stoppers referring to case #ST23001544/ 1548.
