WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. – Two suspects have been arrested after a Sunday morning home invasion in Winter Springs, according to officials from the Winter Springs Police Department. Officials said they believe the invasion was drug-related, as narcotics and cash were found at the scene.
A WSPD news release said officers arrested Ashley Coston, 25, and Garyan George, 16, in connection to the invasion.
Officers said the incident occurred at the 100 block of Keith Court in the Highlands subdivision just after 2 a.m. They said a resident of the home had crawled out of his bedroom window onto his rooftop when officers arrived.
Police said the resident told them there was an armed male intruder inside. In a 911 call, the resident said his parents were also inside the house.
