Coquitlam RCMP Asking Public To Help Solve More-Than-Year-Old Home Invasion, Release Sketches Of Suspects

Darpan News Desk, 03 Jul, 2019 07:59 PM

    Coquitlam Mounties are hoping that information from the public will help identify three suspects from an alleged Coquitlam home invasion.

     

    On February 9, 2018, just before 8:30 p.m., police received a 911 call that three men had broken through the front door of a home in the 600 block of Poirier Street. A family of three was home at the time and two of them received minor injuries.


    In order to further this investigation, Coquitlam RCMP is releasing composite sketches for two of the suspects.

     

    Suspect 1 is described as:

    A South Asian man,

    20 to 30-years-old,

    With a short, well-defined beard,

    Brown, short dark hair with dark eyes,

    Medium height and build,

    Wearing a track suit with red and white features and a high-visibility vest.

     

    Suspect 2 is described as:

    A Caucasian man who may be European,

    40 to 50-years-old,

    Light blue or green eyes with brown hair,

    Slightly shorter than average, large, stocky and muscular,

    Wearing a toque and a high-visibility orange jacket.

     

    Suspect 3 (for whom there is no composite drawing) is described as:

    A tall male of uncertain age,

    Skinny or slim,

    Dressed in all black from head to toe.


    The victims are not known to police and there is no evidence to indicate that this crime is part of a wider conflict.


    If you recognize the suspects, call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and ask for the Investigative Support Team (File 2018-4300). If you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or visit solvecrime.ca.
