An armed home invasion in Cambridge led to the arrest of two men from Kitchener.

Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) say it happened soon after 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 30, around King Street East and Montrose Street.

Police say two men with a firearm broke in, stole property from a victim, and fled the scene.

No one was hurt.

Investigators say this was a targeted home invasion.

On the same day of that incident, a 33-year-old Kitchener man was arrested, and his charges included break and enter; possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose; and possession of a weapon contrary to order.

Police say the second man, a 29-year-old, also from Kitchener, was arrested Thursday and charged with break and enter.

The WRPS Robbery Team is still investigating.
