Four suspects pulled up to the driveway and forced the victim, at gunpoint, into the garage.  Demands were made for money and the victim was struck in the head with a firearm.  The other three suspects entered the home and confronted the rest of the family making similar demands for money. As the victim attempted to flee the garage, one suspect fired a shot in his direction which fortunately missed. The suspects then fled the area in a stolen vehicle.

The victim and his father who was struck by a suspect with a hammer were both treated for minor injuries.

Following a lengthy and complex investigation spanning multiple provinces, police have identified and charged two suspects.

  • Assault with a Weapon
