A second man has been arrested in connection with an alleged armed burglary at a Hamilton Parish home.

A police spokesman said the man, who has not been named, remained in custody and that he was expected to appear in court in due course.

On Monday, 23-year-old Tariq Clarke, of Middle Terrace Rd, Pembroke, appeared in Magistrates’ Court charged with the theft of two cellphones and firing a gun at the North Shore Road house.

Clarke did not enter a plea as the case is indictable and he was remanded in custody until Monday, March 31.

The incident is alleged to have happened last Friday night.
