On March 23rd, 2024, members of the Delta Police Department (DPD) responded to a report of a home invasion and assault at a residence on Westham Island in Delta. Witnesses were able to provide police with descriptions of the suspects and the vehicle they were driving when they left the scene.
Based on the nature of the reported incident and the potential danger to the public, DPD members initiated a high-risk vehicle stop of the suspect vehicle and arrested two occupants without incident.
Victims of the incident were treated for injuries from the assault, which did not require immediate hospitalization.
DPD Major Crime Section (MCS) assumed the conduct of the investigation and determined that this incident was targeted and there is no further risk to the public. Investigators are trying to obtain further details as to the motive behind the offence and whether there are other persons involved.
The two suspects taken into custody were subsequently released with police-directed conditions pending charge approval for several offences. A report to the Crown Counsel will be forwarded once all the evidence can be gathered to support the proposed charges.
