Mounties release sketch of suspects in home invasion involving guns in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — Mounties hope the public can help identify two men accused of wielding hand guns in a home invasion in central Nanaimo.
RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said three men went into an apartment building on Feb. 16 and used hand guns to threaten and assault three men inside.
“They tied up the residents inside, they stole an amount of cash, cell phones and some other property,” O’Brien said. “They (the residents) were left traumatized by the ordeal but they didn’t require any hospitalization.”
O’Brien said investigators got a good description of two of the suspects and have been able to put together a sketch. The suspects are also associated with a blue 2007 Chevy Silverado.
