Four arrested for home invasion

Four Rankin Inlet residents face assault and sexual assault charges following a home invasion early Monday morning.

Police report that a woman opened her door to two other women, who entered and beat her unconscious. They then attacked a second victim who was sleeping.

When a 12-year-old boy inside the house tried to stop the attacks, he was also assaulted. The boy managed to phone police from a neighbour’s house.

The assailants left, but returned minutes later, accompanied by two men. By then, the first victim had awoken and locked the door, but the four entered after breaking a window.

The two men then sexually assaulted the first victim, police say.

Police arrested four people found a short time later in a parked vehicle.

Ujaralaaq Eno, 23, and Amy Kaludjak, 19, are charged with assault causing bodily harm, assault and break and enter. Gary Sigurdson, 27, and Jonathan Kaludjak, 21, are charged with sexual assault and break and enter. They appear in court in Rankin Inlet on October 31.

The victims were treated for injuries at the health centre and released later that day. Police say alcohol was a factor.
