DOVER — Three Dover residents were arrested followed a home invasion Friday, Dover police spokesman Sgt. Mark Hoffman said.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m. in the 500 block of River Road, authorities said. A 20-year-old female first heard a loud banging at the front of her residence, Sgt. Hoffman said, and a front window was shattered shortly after.

Sgt. Hoffman said the resident’s child was at the home during the incident.

Ms. Justice was also charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and Ms. Watson with DUI and traffic offenses.
Bond information was not available at press time Friday.
