An armed home invasion in Northaven on Friday night ended with three people in handcuffs after the victim was forced into the house at gunpoint, according to authorities. Deputies said the victim managed to get away and call for help, and investigators later recovered firearms and detained suspects while they continue to work the case.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to the 5200 block of Broken Oak Drive in Northaven after reports that four people had shown up at a residence to commit a robbery. Deputies arrested a 17-year-old, an 18-year-old Montavius Golden, and a 20-year-old Timmie Brown, and recovered two firearms. Investigators said the 17-year-old and Golden face charges of criminal attempt and unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon, while Brown faces a criminal attempt charge. Anyone with information is asked to call (901) 379-7625, according to FOX13 Memphis.
