When police arrived, they found the suspects allegedly stole various items before they ran from the home.

A second suspect has not been identified yet.

He is described as a black man, around six feet tall. Police estimate he is around 30 to 35 years old with a heavy build.

The suspect was seen wearing a grey sweater and grey jogging pants. He was wearing a balaclava at the time of the incident.

Cousins is facing numerous charges, including theft, assault and weapons related charges.
