Police search for two suspects after armed Ancaster home invasion

Hamilton police are asking for the public’s help in locating two male suspects in connection with an armed home invasion in Ancaster.

On Tuesday at around 12:20 a.m., officers responded to a home on Moorland Crescent following a report of a break-and-enter.

Upon arrival, officers learned that two suspects had smashed the glass in the front door of the home. Before the suspects could gain entry, they were confronted by the homeowner.

Investigators say a brief altercation took place outside the house between the homeowner and the two suspects.

Detectives say the suspects then fled the area in a small, black SUV. The homeowner sustained minor injuries during the confrontation.

Officers believe the home may have been specifically targeted.

Investigators say the second suspect was a white male who was last spotted wearing a black-hooded sweater, light-coloured sweatpants, light-coloured shoes with reflective accents, light-coloured gloves and was possibly wearing a light-coloured face mask.
