Police make an arrest in a violent home invasion robbery in Amberley village.  

Amberley Village Police and the Hamilton County SWAT Team carried out a search warrant at a home on Vera Avenue in Golf Manor around 6 a.m. Monday. There, they found and arrested 19-year-old Darian Lawrence, one of two suspects in a home invasion earlier this month.

The robbery was a shock in normally peaceful Amberley Village. On July 11, two armed bad guys pushed their way into a home on Fair Oaks drive, assaulting the 78-year-old woman who lived there and forcing her 80 year old husband to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash. The suspects then stole the man's car, along with money and jewelry. 

Amberely Village Lt. Brian Blum says, "Charges against Darian Lawrence include aggravated robbery, kidnapping, aggravated burglary and receiving stolen property. Also, as a result of this search warrant, the Amberley Village police department recovered two weapons from the apartment. Personal items of the victims of the home invasion robbery were also recovered during the search of the apartment." 

There is still one more suspect out there somewhere. Police believe the two guys were originally just looking to break in, thinking that no one was home.   But, when the home owner stepped outside and ordered them to leave, that's when they rushed him and pushed their way in. 

If you can help police catch that second suspect, please call CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040. You could be eligible for a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest.
