Four people, including a youth, are in custody after two men were assaulted in one of two break-ins in northern Saskatchewan.
Police believe both break-ins, which happened early Saturday morning at homes in Île-à-la-Crosse, are related.
The first one happened around 2 a.m. when four people, two armed with firearms, entered a home and stole money.
Investigators were able to identify two of the suspects and they were taken into custody later the same day.
