Six people, two of them youths, were arrested in what RCMP are calling a “targeted” home invasion in Richmond, B.C. this weekend.

In a media release, Richmond RCMP said it received reports of multiple suspects forcing their way into a home on Blundell Road near No. 4 Road around 11:30 p.m. on Friday.

Mounties said the home’s two occupants — two men in their 20s — were treated in hospital for injuries.
