The Frederick Police Department has made two arrests in an early morning home invasion and is seeking a third suspect...
On 08/26/2015 at approximately 12:46 AM Frederick Police Officers responded for a welfare check at a residence located in the 500 block of Sylvan Court Frederick, MD.
Upon arrival on scene Officers located a victim of an assault inside of the residence. The victim had sustained injuries during a robbery which had just occurred inside of the residence. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division ultimately responded to further investigate this incident.
Det. Gene Alston was assigned as the lead investigator in this case. During the subsequent investigation Det. Alston determined that a group of suspects entered the residence with the intent to assault and rob the occupants. A single adult female victim sustained injuries as a result of this incident. A suspect was identified as Corey Malik Grant. Grant had fled the scene prior to police arrival with two additional suspects. As of 11:00 PM on 08/26/2015 Grant has not been located.
Two additional suspects were identified during the investigation to be Corey Matthew Smith and Justice Cheyenne Nichole Gales, both of Frederick, MD. Both Smith and Gales were located and arrested without incident on 08/26/2015. Both Gales and Smith are charged with the below listed offenses.
The investigation revealed that the victim and Grant were known to one another prior to the incident. The victim had previously sought a protective order from the Maryland Circuit Court protecting the victim from Grant. This protective order was active at the time of the assault.
The Frederick Police Department is still attempting to locate Grant on the outstanding warrant. The Frederick Police Department is urging anyone with information in this case or regarding the current whereabouts of Corey Malik Grant to contact the Frederick Police Department at 301-600-2102 or the police agency in their jurisdiction.
