Three suspects armed with firearms committed a violent daytime home invasion in Ajax earlier this week and assaulted a male victim, sending him to hospital, police say.
Durham Regional Police said officers were called to an address on Old Harwood Avenue at around 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday after three suspects broke into a home.
Police said a male victim was assaulted and the suspects stole “a quantity of items.” They may have fled in a white passenger van, police added.
The victim was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries and was released.
