NEWS/ POLICE — Two men appeared in court Thursday on charges of breaking and entering and forcible confinement resulting from an investigation of an incident last March.

Kamloops RCMP responded March 16 to a report of a home invasion in the 700 block of York Avenue. The occupants in the upstairs of the home were reportedly held against their will while suspects searched the residence.

Police were called after the suspects fled from the scene. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Thursday that, through the investigation, it was determined that the incident was drug related, although it was in relation to separate tenants in the residence.

The investigation led to charges being sworn against Steven John Insua and Jason Joseph Robertson.
