A neighbour told Global News a man was seen on a bike and possibly jumped the fence of one house into the neighbouring yard. Witnesses were not sure if a weapon was seen or not.

The investigation is still ongoing at this time.

“If you see any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood it’s a good thing to call (the) police so we can find out if there’s any criminal activity or any dangerous activity that’s going on,” Cpl. Dennis Susko with Ridge Meadows RCMP said.
