Question marks are still hovering over an apparent home invasion Saturday morning that left a young father in hospital.
The male homeowner confronted would-be burglars in the early hours of Saturday.
Moments earlier, Richmond Mounties say the man’s wife whispered down the phone to police that four men were in their home on Jack Bell Drive in the East Cambie area at around 3 a.m.
According to police, the husband confronted the men — while his wife was upstairs with their small child — and was injured in the attack, before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
However, by Monday morning, police were none the wiser in terms of a description of the suspects or what they were looking for in the home.
Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said the incident did not appear to be random and that the serious crimes unit was still interviewing the neighbourhood on Monday.
Ashton said the victim has not given police any more information than they first received.
According to police, nothing was stolen from the house during the break-in.
The victims were not able to provide a description of the suspects or the vehicle they fled the scene in.
Police are asking anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the incident and witnessed something unusual in the Cambie and 5 road area, to email Richmond RCMP at [email protected] or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
