Corlett is also a suspect in a second residential break and enter incident that occurred overnight Sunday.
Police said Corlett remains outstanding and as such a warrant is being sought. Police also advise the public that if seen, Corlett should not be approached.
The second suspect has not yet been identified and police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying him.
St. Thomas police ask that if you have any information regarding the home invasion or Corlett’s current whereabouts, to contact them at 519-631-1224 and refer to case number #ST23001544/1548.
