(KNZA)--Two Sabetha residents charged in connection with an alleged Hiawatha home invasion and robbery have been bound over for trial.

Following a preliminary hearing Wednesday, Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says a judge found probable cause and bound 21-year-old Edgar Martinez and 23-year-old Jazmene Hicks over for arraignment on August 7th.

That followed testimony from Hiawatha Police Detective Beau Hasenohr and the alleged victim.

The pair face felony charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and aggravated battery along with a misdemeanor count of criminal restraint.

They are accused of breaking into a home at 121 Apache Street on May 16th. The occupant, Ray Atlakson, told police he was battered and robbed, with his hands bound behind his back before the suspects fled the scene.

Atlakson was treated for injuries at the Hiawatha Community Hospital.

The suspects are accused of taking a pair of car keys, billfold and a RCA tablet by force.

Hill says a third suspect in the case, 27-year-old Bern resident Oscar Martinez, remains at large.
