Two men were indicted by a Lake County grand jury this week on home invasion, armed robbery, armed violence and aggravated unlawful restraint charges.

Jovan Martin, 20, of Waukegan, and Devaughn Thompson, 19, of Zion, are accused of breaking into a residence in the 1000 block of Manchester Circle, Grayslake, armed with a firearm and baseball bat on Sept. 28, according to court documents.

Martin and Thompson were charged with armed robbery and home invasion, both punishable 21 to 45 years in prison, armed violence, punishable 15 to 30 years in prison and aggravated unlawful restraint.

Martin faces an additional five to 10 years if he is convicted because he has a robbery conviction from 2010, according to court records.

Martin is due back in court for arraignment March 5. He is in custody at Lake County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.

There is a warrant outstanding for Thompson’s arrest. He was released from custody Aug. 24 for time served for theft charges. The warrant for his arrest is for the Sept. 28 incident, according to court records.
