Three people have now been charged in relation to a home invasion that occurred in Abbotsford in June.
According to court records, Matthew Roy of Abbotsford, Alexander Sladeczeck of Chilliwack and Ashley Lunan of Abbotsford have each been charged with five offences – unlawful confinement, aggravated assault, robbery, break-and-enter, and assault with a weapon.
Police previously said that officers were called to a reported home invasion just after 2:30 p.m. on June 23 in the 33000 block of George Ferguson Way.
A male victim was taken to hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Three suspects were quickly arrested.

Roy, 33, has an extensive criminal record and was most recently sentenced in January to almost eight more months in prison (on top of time already served) for a March 2022 stabbing.
That incident, which occurred in the 1600 block of Riverside Road, resulted in a 29-year-old man being wounded.
Roy was also sentenced in January to time served for assault with a weapon on Jan. 29, 2020 and a concurrent sentence of 232 days for a robbery on Dec. 13, 2021.
