The RCMP in Nova Scotia is investigating a home invasion that happened in West Dover last week.
RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment responded to a home invasion on West Dover Road around 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Police say they learned two men armed with knives forced their way into the home. Once inside, one of the two occupants was restrained while the second was instructed to open a safe, according to an RCMP news release.
Police say the suspects then fled the area.
The occupants, a 77-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman, did not suffer physical injuries.
One of the suspects is described as a man, six-foot-four with a stocky build. He was wearing a mask and was dressed in black.
Police describe the second suspect as a man, five-foot-eight with a stocky build. The force says he was wearing camouflage pants, a black top and a mask.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 902-490-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
