Suspect arrested in decade-old robbery and assault
The Windsor Police Service has charged a suspect in a decade-old robbery and assault.
Members of the Windsor Police Major Crimes Unit arrested Kyle Strilchuck in connection to a home invasion that occurred on August 19, 2013. Two suspects forced their way into a residence in the 1000 block of California Ave., where they forcibly confined, assaulted, and threatened a male occupant with a gun and a knife. The suspects then stole cash, a cellular phone, and marijuana before fleeing the scene.
One suspect was arrested and charged within days of the incident, but the identity of the second suspect remained a mystery until now. Thanks to advancements in forensic technology, investigators were able to leverage DNA evidence retrieved at the scene to identify a second suspect and bring closure to the victim.
Strilchuck, 40, was arrested yesterday in the 1400 block of Victoria Ave. He has been charged with the following:
• Break and enter
• Robbery
• Assault with a weapon
• Assault causing bodily harm
• Forcible confinement
• Uttering death threats
• Pointing a firearm
• Possession of a firearm
