Police have arrested one boy and are looking for three males connected to a gang sexual assault that happened Sept. 15 in St. Catharines.

Detectives learned that four male suspects had allegedly committed a break and enter at a home in the area of Welland Avenue and Lake Street in the City of St. Catharines to assault a woman.

Investigators say the suspects stole multiple items from the woman’s home before leaving the woman with non-life-threatening physical injuries.

Officers executed search warrants at homes in the cities of Niagara Falls and St. Catharines on Friday and arrested a 17-year-old boy from Niagara Falls.

The boy was charged with multiple offences involved with breaking and entering and for sexual assault.

Detectives say they have reason to believe the assault was targeted.
