Police are looking for information related to an assault on a 67-year-old woman in April.

Two suspects assaulted the woman and ransacked her home on the 9000 block of Geal Road near Railway Avenue on April 11, 2023. Police attended the scene shortly after 12:30 p.m. after receiving reports of the incident.

The woman sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

"Both suspects are described as being dark-skinned, wearing black hoodies, dark pants, and masks. They fled in an unknown vehicle," said Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Adriana O'Malley in a statement.

According to police, the incident does not appear to be random.

Frontline officers and the Lower Mainland District Police Dog Service did not manage to find any suspects. The investigation is currently being handled by Richmond RCMP's General Investigation Section and police have been following up on "several investigative leads."

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file #2023-10923.
