Suspect in alleged Guysborough Co. home invasion expected back in court in October

A man charged in relation to an alleged home invasion in Guysborough Co. has had his case adjourned.

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, faces five charges- break-and-enter into a residence, assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats.

He was released from custody; his case opened with an arraignment hearing in July.

Avery was scheduled for election-and-plea in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Tuesday; instead, the hearing was adjourned until Oct. 23.

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