4 suspects sought after violent East Gwillimbury home invasion
York Regional Police investigators are trying to identify four suspects after a violent home invasion in East Gwillimbury early Monday morning.
Officers were called to a home in the Frederick Pearson Street and John Candy Drive area at around 1:00 a.m. on April 13, after three male suspects forced their way inside and began assaulting two occupants while a fourth suspect waited in a getaway vehicle.
Investigators say a gun was fired during the confrontation, but luckily no one was struck by the gunfire.
The suspects wore ski masks and all-black clothing.
The two occupants of the home suffered non life-threatening injuries.
The suspects fled in the getaway vehicle, described as a dark-coloured sedan.
“This is believed to be a targeted incident, and there is no ongoing threat to public safety,” police said in a release.
