Manitoba RCMP search for suspects in rural home invasion
RCMP in Neepawa, Man., are looking for a pair of suspects captured on video surveillance during a home invasion on a rural property early Thursday morning.
Officers were called to the scene in the RM of Glenella-Lansdowne just after 1 a.m., where they learned two masked suspects forced their way into a home, before being confronted by the armed homeowner and fleeing.
On their way out, police said, the suspects allegedly fired a gun into the side of the home, which caused minor damage, although no one was hurt.
