Break and Enter Suspects Sought
The Peterborough Police Service is searching for several suspects after a break and enter at a residence in Peterborough early Sunday morning.
At approximately 1:45am on November 17, 2024, officers were called to the residence in the Edison Avenue and Park Street South area after a woman and her teenaged son called to report a break and enter in progress. Upon arrival, officers learned that the pair had been sleeping when four people entered the home, one is alleged to have flashed a gun and indicated they were looking for money. During the incident, a family dog was struck with a taser, while the mother and son locked themselves in a bathroom. The teen was able to escape and run for help and when the suspects realized he was gone, they fled the area in a black sedan. No one was injured and the dog was okay.
