An 18-year-old Kings Park man, a 17-year-old youth and a 16-year-old youth were arrested at their homes this morning and are currently assisting police.

During the home invasion, a woman sleeping near her young child feared for her life as masked males held a knife to her neck.

The fiancee of the victim of the Albion home invasion, Ed, said he woke to her screams.

He ran downstairs and yelled “you better run, you rats” as the thugs jumped out a window and fled.

Ed said his fiancee Trang feared for her life.

She and her five-year-old son ran into the bathroom to hide after the terrifying confrontation.
