On Thursday, March 6, 2025, at approximately 11:20 a.m., police were called to a residence in the area of Murray Drive and Kennedy Street for a home invasion. The female victim reported answering the door after someone was knocking aggressively. As the front door opened, a male suspect forced his way into the residence and attempted to restrain her.
A second victim, who was also at the residence, attempted to intervene and was violently assaulted.
The suspect fled the residence in an unknown direction on foot, without making any demands for valuables or stealing anything.
Both victims suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect is described as:
Male, white
20 to 30 years old
Approximately 6 and approximately 175 lbs. to 180 lbs.
Wearing a black balaclava, with two eye-holes and a separate mouth hole, a midweight black puffy coat, black pants and black boot-like footwear
York Regional Police would like to warn the community to always know who is at your door before opening it. This can be done from a window where the person would not be able to see you, for example, a second floor or living room window. If able, use security cameras or peepholes to verify who is at the door before opening it.
If you feel unsafe, trust your instincts and call 9-1-1 right away.
Anyone with information is asked to call the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6630, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. To leave an anonymous tip online, visit www.1800222tips.com.
