Two additional suspects were charged in connection with a June 23 home invasion in White Township, according to state police.
Police said Spencer M. Hayes, 19, and Frank J. Williams IV, 20, both of Philadelphia, were charged Tuesday with robbery, criminal conspiracy, terroristic threats, theft and related charges following a home invasion and armed robbery in the 400 block of Center Street.
Last week, state police charged Thomas E. Lindsay, 20, of Indiana, in connection with the robbery as well as a separate shooting, and were seeking two additional suspects.
Two victims in the robbery told police that Lindsay, whom they know, and six other unknown males were behaving erratically and were told to leave the pair’s home at about 1 p.m.
The group drove away, but Lindsay and two of the other men returned minutes later, forced their way into the home and displayed handguns as they demanded money and drugs, according to court documents.
The suspects ransacked the home and forced the victims to submit to a strip search before stealing an eighth ounce of marijuana, two cell phones, some vape pens and about $500 in cash, police said.
Hayes and Williams were arraigned before District Judge Guy B. Haberl, and remanded to Indiana County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.
They face a July 9 preliminary hearing at 1 p.m. in Haberl’s Indiana court.
