Home invasion suspect has case adjourned

The case of a Sydney Mines woman facing three charges after a home invasion in Inverness Co. is scheduled to return to court in September.

Jessica Carolanne Leroy, 22, who has been charged with break-and-enter to a residence, assault with a weapon and resisting arrest, was expected for an arraignment hearing in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday; instead, it was adjourned until Sept. 5.

RCMP say a woman and three men went to a home on Subdivision Rd. in Waycobah in May; there was an altercation, and bear spray was used.

They say another woman was injured when she was assaulted with a rock.

Police say they arrested the woman following a short foot chase; she was treated for minor injuries, spent the night in custody, and was released on conditions the next day.

They say they also arrested a man, but he fled in a vehicle.
