Ontario Provincial Police have charged a Kingston man in connection with two home invasions last year in Kingston and on Wolfe Island.

The first incident took place on Aug. 22, 2024, at a home on Road 96 on Wolfe Island. A month later, on Sept. 23, 2024, Kingston police responded to a home invasion in the area of Frontenac and Brock streets. OPP said during the two incidents, one person suffered life-threatening injuries, and three others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police suspected the incidents might be linked and a joint investigation was launched between the OPP and the Kingston Police Service.

On Tuesday, police arrested a 29-year-old man at a home on Lasalle Boulevard in Kingston’s east end. The man is now facing several assault and breaking and entering charges.

The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 19.
