Break & Enter in Vancouver home

  • Break & Enter in Vancouver home

Two people have been charged after a home invasion where police say the suspects may have either targeted the wrong home or were looking for someone who wasn’t there.

Vancouver police say an 89-year-old grandmother was injured and nine teens left badly shaken, after two people forced their way into a home shortly before midnight on August 24th.

Sergeant Steve Addison says instead of finding their intended target, the home invasion suspects encountered a house full of people who became innocent victims.

A 16-year-old from Surrey and a 24-year-old from Vancouver are facing a string of charges including break and enter, robbery with a firearm and assault causing bodily harm.
