Four GTA men charged in armed Milton home invasion

Four GTA men are facing charges following an armed home invasion in Milton early Thursday morning.

It happened shortly before 5 a.m. at a home in the area of Clark Boulevard and Thompson Road South.

Halton police say three men broke in through the front door and made their way to the second floor, where they confronted the family of four, including a young boy.

Officers say two of the men threatened the family with a large knife and a screwdriver. They allegedly demanded car keys, cash and jewelry as well. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Police arrived at the home and found the suspects’ Chevrolet Volt parked in front. The driver tried to flee the scene and struck a police cruiser. Officers stopped the car and then arrested the man driving it.

Investigators learned the Chevrolet Volt was stolen from Durham Region earlier this month.

The three other men ran out of the home but were quickly arrested nearby.

Halton police say 25-year-old Shivam Miglani of Brampton; 28-year-old Gurpreet Singh of Brampton; 18-year-old Jalen Harriott of Ajax; and a 17-year-old Mississauga resident have been charged with multiple robbery-related offences.

They were held in custody pending a bail hearing in Milton.

In an update Feb. 24, investigators say they believe all four men may be responsible for more home invasions.

Anyone with further information regarding this home invasion is asked to contact the 1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777 ext. 2416.
