Coquitlam –On Friday, February 9th, at 8:23 p.m. the Coquitlam RCMP were called to a home in the 600 block of Poirier St. for a report of an interrupted break and enter.
According to statements already obtained from victims and witnesses, three men allegedly attempted to break in to the home while the residents were inside. The residents attempted to stop the suspects from entering the home, were assaulted by the suspects, and sustained minor injuries. The suspects fled in a waiting vehicle.
