On April 8, 2025, at approximately 8:15 p.m., members of the St. Stephen RCMP detachment responded to a report of a home invasion at a residence in Oak Bay. Five individuals had forcefully gained entry to the residence while the homeowners were present. One individual was armed with a weapon and assaulted one of the homeowners, who suffered minor injuries. The suspects fled the scene with undisclosed medications prior to police arrival. 

A short time later, two RCMP officers were returning from a community meeting when they came across the fleeing suspects. The officers exited their vehicle and immediately initiated an arrest. A 22-year-old man, 62-year-old man, 29-year-old man, and a 19-year-old man, all from Charlotte County, were arrested. Police are still searching for a fifth individual in connection with the incident. 

The 62-year-old man has since been released from custody on an appearance notice and will appear in court at a later date. The other three men remain in custody. 

Police believe that this was a targeted incident, and there is no risk to public safety.
