PITT MEADOWS (NEWS1130) – Three men posing as police officers invaded a home in Pitt Meadows last night.
Ridge Meadows RCMP Corporal Alanna Dunlop says the men claimed to be plain clothes officers and that is how they were able to get into the house.
Dunlop says she has seen this before, “and it’s always a good idea if you’re ever unsure and you’re dealing with a situation where someone is claiming to be a police officer that you can ask for identification.”
She says they aren’t sure of the motive but generally these types of situation are not random attacks.
The victims claimed to have seen a gun an a knife.
One person was assaulted but not with a weapon, and the other ran out of the house to alert the neighbour.
RCMP are now looking for the middle aged men who sped away from the scene.
One of the suspects is described as being a white male, aged 30 to 35 years, the two others wore disguises.
Witnesses and the victims can only describe the van as being white in colour, and that it is missing the passenger door’s exterior mirror.
