Alberta RCMP has charged two people in connection to a home invasion on Sept. 9.

Mounties from Parkland County responded to a report of a break-and-enter and a potential extortion with a firearm at a home.

When officers arrived, they were able to find the homeowner and were able to safely evacuate her from the home.

During a subsequent search of the home, officers found two people inside as well as a loaded 9 mm handgun.

Mounties confirmed that one of the suspects had to be taken to hospital after being taken into custody because they had been attacked by a large dog in the home.

Since, RCMP have charged 41-year-old Jeante Michael Maddox and 40-year-old Alexander James Kuzniarski, both of Edmonton, with a combined 19 charges, including breaking and entering, and possession of a firearm, to name a few.

Maddox is set to appear in court on Sept. 25, while Kuzniarski will appear on Sept. 10.
