Search for violent home invasion suspect continues

Trail RCMP are still looking for a second suspect and an accomplice in the recent violent home invasion in Rossland.

A 26-year-old Beaver Falls man was stabbed after two masked intruders burst in.

Police say he is expected to recover from what police believe was a targeted attack by suspects known to the victim.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and later released into the custody of his parents after appearing in court.

RCMP are also looking for a dark coloured truck with a canopy and loud exhaust driven by the alleged assailants.

Police want to speak with anyone who has video or dash cam footage from the 19-hundred block of Nevada Street between 2-and-3 a.m. on Sat May 3.

Trail RCMP are also investigating a break in and theft from the Rossland Museum this past Saturday at around 11:30 in the morning.

Police say a laser engraver and electronic receiver were taken and expect to hear about more stolen items.

RCMP are looking for tips from anyone who may know the thieves, or has additional information about the case.

“We hope that the thieves did not take any items that may have historical value to the Rossland community,” said Trail Detachment Commander Mike Wicentowich.
