The incident happened at around 4:30 a.m. in the 200 block of Fennel Drive, not far from Vance Jackson Road and Loop 410 on the North Side.

The suspects’ names have not been released. They are facing charges of burglary of a vehicle and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said.

The resident is not expected to face any charges, according to SAPD.
