Vancouver Police have released security photos of a suspect involved in a 2018 home invasion, hoping to identify the man.
Shortly before 9 p.m., on November 30, 2018, several suspects, disguised with hoods and masks, forced their way into a residence near Ontario and West 49th Avenue. Two of the men were armed.
The homeowners, a 56-year-old man and his 35-year-old wife, were restrained and assaulted while their toddler slept upstairs. The husband was treated at hospital for serious injuries, while his wife’s physical injuries were minor. The child was unharmed.
