WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police have charged a man from Ingersoll who allegedly broke into a home armed with a weapon while the occupants were sleeping.
Officers were initially called early Sunday morning after a Chevrolet Cruz was stolen from the Ingersoll area. The man driving the stolen car took it to Woodstock where he broke into a house with three people sleeping inside.
