Police are investigating after a home was broken into by several suspects last Saturday, Oct. 26.
On Oct. 26, 2024, at approximately 2:15 a.m. three suspects allegedly broke into a home on Harold Dent Trail by forcing open the residence back door.
Two of the three suspects made their way to the upper floor of the home where they confronted a female adult resident demanding the keys for a Mercedes G-Wagon parked in the driveway.
The suspects were ultimately successful in locating the key, stole the vehicle and fled.
The suspects that made entry into the home are described as male, wearing dark clothing and a mask. One of the suspects was described as carrying a handgun.
Investigators have determined a fourth suspect was connected to a getaway vehicle that is described as a dark coloured sedan. No physical injuries were sustained.
Police say the rise in home invasions for vehicle keys in the region has increased over the last few months.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation, or anyone that may have witnessed suspicious vehicles or persons in the area of Harold Dent Trail and North Park Blvd around the time of the incident is asked to contact the 2 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777 ext. 2216.
