Police are searching for a suspect after a man was injured in a struggle during a home invasion in Nova Scotia’s Hants County.
The RCMP say a man and woman were asleep inside their Ellershouse, N.S., home when they awoke to find a man with a firearm standing in the doorway of their bedroom just before midnight.
Police say the man was injured in a struggle with the suspect. He was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The woman wasn’t injured.
Police don’t believe the incident was a random act.
An RCMP dog and handler assisted police at the scene, but they were unable to locate the suspect. Police believe the man was picked up in a vehicle, as the dog tracked him to a nearby intersection.
The suspect is five-foot-five inches tall and had a low voice. He was wearing jeans, a dark hoodie, and a light-coloured bandana over his face.
Police are investigating and are asking anyone with information to contact them.
