West Kelowna resident injured in early morning home invasion

WEST KELOWNA – A West Kelowna resident was taken to hospital after a violent home invasion early Saturday morning.

RCMP were called to a home on the 2500-block of Colleen Road, July 23, to a report of a break-and-enter and an assault.

A police services dog was unable to locate the suspect who broke into the home with his face covered just before 2:30 a.m, according to a RCMP media release.

“A resident inside the home was transported to hospital suffering from what police believe to be minor, non-life threatening injuries,” O’Donaghey says in the release.
