Jun 7, 2019 | 12:03 PM

Thorsby RCMP are seeking help in identifying three male suspects in a home invasion Thursday afternoon.

Shortly before 3:00 p.m., police say a homeowner in her rural residence heard intruders in her home. Two males were inside and when confronted by the homeowner, both fled and departed in a truck which had a third male in it.

The suspect males are described as:

Suspect #1

– Indigenous male

– 6’ tall, medium build, shoulder length straight black hair

– Wearing a black hoodie, black sweatpants and black backwards baseball cap

Suspect #2

– Indigenous male

– 6’ tall, medium build, waist length long black hair in two ponytails

– Wearing a black hoodie, black sweatpants and black backwards baseball cap

Suspect #3

– Indigenous male

Suspect Vehicle: – Older model red Dodge Ram pickup truck, single cab with rust on the rear of the vehicle. Alberta license plate on the truck believed to be KTW849.

The homeowner believes that the male driving the truck had a handgun in his hand as they were fleeing the property, though this information has not been verified.

The homeowner was not injured during this incident and no property was taken from the home.

Drayton Valley RCMP GIS are assisting in this investigation.
