Robbery detectives have charged a pair of Homewood men who police said barged into a house this morning and robbed a resident at gunpoint.

Officers responding to reports of a domestic dispute on Fareham Court in East Liberty spotted the men running from the home with guns, Lt. Reyne Kacsuta said.

A woman inside told police that she had been robbed by the gunmen, whom police chased and captured near Larimer Avenue. The lieutenant said police recovered one gun at the scene. No one was hurt.

James Givner, 18, and Ian Branch-Robinson, 20 were charged with crimes including robbery, burglary, conspiracy, receiving stolen property and firearms offenses.
