Five people are facing charges in connection with a violent home invasion in Lower Sackville.

Police say on Friday a man reported waking up to four men pointing guns at him. The man told police he was beaten up and then physically assaulted with a weapon — injuries which required treatment at a hospital.

Two 18-year-old men from Halifax, a 17-year-old from Tantallon and a 17-year-old from Middle Sackville were arrested Friday and are each facing a number of robbery, weapons and assault charges.

Some of the charges shared by these four people include:

Robbery with a firearm.

Break and enter.

Aggravated assault.

Assault with a weapon.

Extortion using a firearm.

Forcible confinement.

Uttering threats to cause death.

Another 18-year-old man from Lower Sackville was also charged with assault.​

Three of the accused are been remanded into custody until their next court appearances on Monday.
