In a shocking turn of events, a violent home invasion was captured on surveillance footage in Vaughan early Thursday morning. Police have now released the video, which shows five suspects aggressively forcing their way into a residence in the Athabasca Drive and Hunterwood Chase area.
The footage reveals one of the suspects wielding a hammer as they smash through the front door of the home, while another suspect brandishes a handgun as they enter the property. The intruders reportedly demanded the homeowner’s vehicle keys. However, despite the tense situation, the homeowner refused to comply with the demand.
Unable to locate any vehicle keys, the suspects quickly fled the scene, retreating to a dark-coloured sedan that had been waiting nearby. The entire incident occurred at approximately 2:15 a.m.
York Regional Police are actively investigating the case and are asking anyone with information to come forward. The community is urged to remain vigilant as police continue to search for the individuals involved in this brazen, violent crime.
