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.

Damien Anderson, 26, from Île-à-la-Crosse, and Kyle Southwind, 32, from Saskatoon, are facing a number of charges including pointing a firearm, careless use of a firearm, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.

The second break-in happened roughly an hour later.

Two people entered a home armed with what police believe were machetes and attacked two men.
