Portage la Prairie RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for a 25-year-old male in connection to an alleged home invasion.

The RCMP says in a release it's looking for Kelly-Jo Samuels, believed to be in the Portage la Prairie area, after officers responded to a home invasion in the 600 block of 2nd St. NW yesterday.

Mounties say several calls from people in the home and concerened neighbors came in, and a resident was assaulted by a male and female who were known to the victim. "Property damage and threats were made by the assailants, who fled the scene before police arrived," the RCMP release says.

Police say they located the female suspect, Cheyenne Elizabeth Longclaws, 24, and she was arrested on charges of assault, uttering threats and being unlawfully in a dwelling house. The RCMP asks anyone who may know the whereabouts of the male suspect, Samuels, to contact their local police detachment.
