A Milton homeowner was forced, at gunpoint, to drive his vehicle a short distance during a home invasion early this morning.
According to Halton police, at about 2 a.m. on Thursday, Mar. 21, a group of suspects broke into a home in the area of Clark and Lancaster boulevards in Milton. A male resident was awoken by the noise and confronted a male suspect near the bedroom.
The suspect pointed a gun at the resident and demanded cash or jewelry. A total of three suspects were seen in the house. The resident advised the males that there was no cash or valuables in the home.
The homeowner was then led at gunpoint into his own truck, which was idling in the driveway with a fourth suspect waiting behind the wheel. The resident was forced into the passenger seat while two suspects got into the back and another drove a stolen white BMW X5M vehicle the suspects arrived in.
The suspects drove the resident in his own truck a short distance from the house before he was told to get out.
In total, the suspects stole the resident’s Dodge RAM pickup truck, wallet and cell phone. The residents did not sustain any physical injuries.
