Two Toronto women have been arrested on 28 charges following an armed home invasion in the Church Wellesley neighborhood last week. Toronto Police were called to the intersection of East Charles Street and Church Street on Tuesday, November 14th.

It is said that the victim was inside his house with one of the robber's acquaintances when he heard a knock on the door. As soon as the victim opens the door, he encounters a woman who forcibly enters the house.
