The New Westminster Police Department (NWPD) is appealing to the public for assistance in a recent attempted break-in incident that occurred on Ginger Drive near McBride Blvd.
On September 28th, at approximately 1 p.m., NWPD officers responded to a call regarding a man attempting to break into a residence.
The homeowner, a woman, heard knocking at her front door and a window, but as she was not expecting anyone, she chose not to answer. Moments later, she heard what sounded like a window screen being tampered with in one of the bedrooms. Upon investigation, she discovered an unknown man trying to climb through the window. Startled, she screamed, prompting the man to flee the scene.
The suspect is described as wearing a black toque, a blue medical mask, and a brown jacket.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have been in the vicinity at the time of the incident to come forward with any information they may have. Witnesses are encouraged to reach out to the NWPD at 604-525-5411.
