Home invasion in Port Moody

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Aug, 2024 12:28 PM

Police in Port Moody say a man has been changed over allegations he tried to steal cryptocurrency in a violent home invasion earlier this year.

Officers were called by a third-party to request a check on the well-being of a family on April 28th and found multiple victims who needed treatment for several injuries.

Police say they identified a non-Canadian resident as the suspect and he was arrested last week while returning to the country through Vancouver's airport.

The man remains in custody and faces seven charges, including aggravated assault, forcible confinement, and break and enter.
