Sarnia police say two suspects apologized and offered to pay for damages after breaking into the wrong home in the 700 block of Kipling Street Friday night.
Police said the homeowners were watching TV downstairs at around 7:15 p.m. when they heard a loud bang from a door being smashed open.
The residents were confronted by two men, one holding a hammer who demanded money that was supposedly owed to him.
Police said the intruders realized they were in the wrong home, and left without further incident.
At short time later, two 27-year-old men, one from Sarnia and the other from Keswick were arrested.
They're each charged with break and enter, mischief under $5,000, and possession of a dangerous weapon.
