Coquitlam RCMP is asking for the public’s help to locate three men suspected in a home invasion last year.

According to police, investigators were called to a home in the 600-block of Poirer Street just before 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 9, 2018.

Police said three men allegedly broke through the front door while a family of three was at home. Two of the people inside suffered minor injuries, police said.

The RCMP said the victims are not known to police, and evidence suggests the incident wasn’t connected to a wider conflict.
