Arrest made in 10-year-old home invasion, assault

Windsor police have made an arrest in a decade-old robbery and assault case.

On August 19, 2013, police were called to California Avenue after two people forced their way into a home. Once inside they confined and assaulted a man and threatened him with a knife and gun. Cash, a cell phone, and marijuana were stolen from the home before the suspects took off.

One suspect was arrested and charged within days of the incident but the second suspect was never identified.

Now, thanks to advancements in forensic technology, investigators were able to use evidence taken from the home and identify the second suspect.

A 40-year-old was arrested and is now facing charges of break and enter, robbery, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, uttering death threats, pointing a firearm, and possession of a firearm.
