Man arrested following alleged Guysborough Co. home invasion scheduled for sentencing

A suspect charged in relation to an alleged home invasion in Guysborough Co. is expected back in court Tuesday.

Police say they were called following an incident at a home in Canso in May.

They say a man broke into a home, assaulted a 55-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman inside, and left; the victims weren’t injured.

RCMP say a man from Little Dover man turned himself in at their Bible Hill detachment later.

Coady Robert Avery, 26, originally faced five charges- break-and-enter into a residence, assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.

Avery pleaded guilty to the break-and-enter and two assault counts during an election-and-plea hearing in October; the Crown withdrew his other two charges.

He’s scheduled to return to Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court for a sentencing hearing.

Police say it was an isolated incident, and all three people involved knew each other.
