Two held - one sought - after home invasion

Police GE

Two men are being held by police after a home invasion in Cartigny in canton Geneva last week.

An elderly couple were held hostage while their home was ransacked and items stolen. The man had his ear slashed with a knife – it later required stitches. 

Prosecutors say three men were involved – one is still on the run. 

The attack was last Wednesday night. The pair in custody were caught only a few hours later after a search using sniffer dogs. 
Stolen items were found nearby. 

The search for the third person continues. It’s believed he may have fled across the border.
