Regional Police say they’ve arrested three people wanted in connection with an armed home invasion earlier this month.

The case involves 35 year-old Nathan Brian Medel from Sydney, 18 year-old Carolyn Ann Dermody from North Sydney, and 25 year-old Edward James O’Brien, who has no fixed address.

They’re facing a number of charges, including assault with a weapon and forcible confinement, stemming from an incident at a home on Ferry Street in Sydney on December 14^th.

The three are accused of entering the home and demanding money from two people inside.

Police say Dermody and O’Brien were arrested without incident at a home on Bentinck St. in Sydney at about 5:30 yesterday evening.

They add Medel was arrested about a half hour later near Forrest St. in Sydney.

Police say the three are now in lockup, and they’re expected to be remanded to the Cape Breton Correctional Centre sometime today.
