Prince George, B.C.- RCMP are investigating two separate home invasions.
The first took place in the early hours of Tuesday of this week at a home in the 2700 block of 20th Avenue.
The victim, a 30 year old male, told officers 3 Caucasian males in their early 20’s, wearing white coats had entered his home and tied him up. The man was threatened with a screw driver and stole several items including his tv, computer and PS3.
The three suspects were seen leaving the area in a red Dodge Neion at a high rate of speed.
RCMP located the vehicle being driven in a dangerous manner and discovered it had been stolen 2 days prior to the incident. Police did not pursue the vehicle due to the risk to public safety. The vehicle was soon located on Nechako Road and 5th Avenue and Police observed 3 males dressed in white, run from vehicle towards Hammond Park.
RCMP Police Dog Services were called to the scene and a dog track was successful in locating evidence but police were unable to locate any suspects. Upon searching the vehicle, members recovered all the stolen property taken from the residence and the Forensic Identification Unit was called to assist.

The second incident happened last night around 10:15 in the 600 block of Douglas Street.
A male and 2 female victims say 5 males entered the residence through the front door and threatened them with a gun and an extendable baton. The 2 females were held in the livingroom while the male victim was assaulted in the bedroom.
The suspects stole 2 blackberry phones, 2 purses, a wallet, 46 inch T.V., computer monitor, laptop, PS3, Nintendo Wii and assorted games. The suspects then left out the back door.
Four of the Suspects are described as being native with the one carrying the baton said to be native, skinny build, 5'7" with a sunken “pock marked” face.
The fifth suspect, carrying the hand gun, is described as being Caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes, 5'7", medium build and was wearing a dark grey hoody with a white and grey bandana covering his face. The male was also noted to have a smaller nose and his eyes were further apart than normal.

RCMP are continuing to investigate the home invasion and are looking into the possible motive of the violent incident as all victims state they have no involvement with drugs and are not associated to any gangs or other organized crime groups.
“Usually home invasions are linked with the collection of a debt by a gang” says Constable Leslie Smith, “But in both of these cases, the victims swear they have no drug or gang affiliation.”
Police are concerned the suspects attended the wrong residence and could be a case of mistaken identity.
Constable Smith says there is no evidence at this time to indicate there is any link between the two home invasions.
Police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying the suspects responsible for the home invasions, anyone with information on either of these home invasions is asked to call the Prince George RCMP at (250) 561-3300 or call CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
