A Townsend, Ont., woman is facing multiple charges in connection with a home invasion investigation that started in mid-November, according to Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

The arrest comes a little over nine weeks after a suspect entered a home on Munsee Street North in Cayuga, Haldimand County and restrained a victim to complete a robbery, say investigators.

Just after 5:a.m. on Nov. 16, the suspect walked through an insecure door, subdued the victim and took jewelry, cash plus various hunting and fishing knives before fleeing.

The uninjured victim was able to free themselves and call 9-1-1 from a neighbour’s house.

OPP say the 45-year-old accused, who is not the robbery suspect, was arrested by police in London on Monday and is facing multiple charges, including robbery using a firearm and possession of stolen property.

Anyone with information can reach out to OPP at 1- 888-310-1122.

Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or left online.
