Pocono Mountain Regional Police have secured arrest warrants for Tymeek Gant, 20, of Tobyhanna, and Itisha Bowen, 38, of Staten Island, New York, a boyfriend-girlfriend couple who authorities said broke into a Tobyhanna residence and assaulted its owner.

Police said they are facing charges of conspiracy, burglary, robbery, aggravated assault, criminal trespass, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and criminal mischief as a result of the home invasion that happened at 6:39 p.m. Friday in the area of 2100 Larkspur Lane, Tobyhanna.

Police said they responded to a burglary in progress after being told a male and female had entered the residence and were assaulting a female inside the premises. Gant and Bowen, they said, fled the scene in a black Nissan before police arrival.
