Home invasion
At 1:42 p.m., on Wednesday, July 27 a resident called the Squamish RCMP to report that someone entered her home on Ross Road, while she was putting her baby to bed. She heard the patio sliding door open and initially thought it was the renovation crew coming in because her back stairs were under construction. After a few seconds, she walked to the main hallway and saw the sliding patio door wide open, and the washroom and bedroom doors were closed though they weren’t a few minutes before. She walked to the patio door on the south side of the house, and when she came back to the hallway, she saw that the washroom door was suddenly open. She grabbed her son and ran out of the house to call the police from her neighbour’s house. Police flooded the area and police dog services also arrived. The residence was cleared. This file remains under investigation.
