Raleigh County — West Virginia State Police say arrest warrants have been obtained for two suspects involved in a home invasion.

According to Cpl. T.A. Bowers, Joshua M. Scott, 29, of Beckley, and Robert R. Cook, 29, of Arnett, are being charged with burglary and armed robbery.

Additionally, Bowers said, Cook is being charged with wanton endangerment.

Joseph Carlile Spence, 32, of Lower Sandlick Road, Beckley, was arrested Tuesday on similar charges pertaining to the same incident.
