Markham Home Invasion

Four people are recovering after their home was invaded Monday morning.

Around 5am, six men entered the home on Saintsbury Road, near Woodbine Ave. and 16th Ave. after a resident opened the door. Once inside, the robbers bound the occupants, demanding cash and jewelry.

One of the residents, a 58-year-old man, suffered minor injuries after being struck by one of the robbers.

According to York Regional Police, no weapons were seen during the invasion and most of the suspects were wearing masks. However, one man is described as as an Asian male, five-feet six-inches tall, between 120 and 140 pounds and wearing a black hat. He spoke fluent English and Mandarin.

Anyone with information is asked to Police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6630, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or leave a tip at www.1800222tips.com.
