Two Council Bluffs residents came home late Sunday night to find a woman and a man had broken into their apartment. According to Bluffs Police, officers responded at 11:50-p.m. to an apartment complex at 35 Bluff Street, following a report an armed subject had just broken into one of the apartments. The victims, 31-year old Anastaschia Hughes, and 50-year old Shannon Hughes, found 26-year old Jennifer Malone, of Council Bluffs, and a male subject, inside the home.

When the residents confronted the two intruders, the male produced a knife and allegedly attempted to slash Shannon Hughes, who was not injured. The two suspects fled area on foot, but Malone was found and arrested on a charge of Burglary in the 1st Degree. The male suspect was not located.

An investigation into the incident continues. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the Council Bluffs Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at 712-328-4765.
