On Tuesday June 20, 2023, at approximately 12:57 a.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Kingsville Detachment responded to an emergency 9-1-1 call for a home invasion at a County Road 27 West, Town of Kingsville address.

It was determined that three suspects attended a residence, two of the suspects were believed to be armed with suspected handguns and one with an edged weapon. One suspect searched the residence prior to them fleeing the scene in a pickup truck.

Officers were unable to locate the suspects. The vehicle was later recovered in the City of Windsor.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

Investigators believe that this is not a random act but rather a targeted incident that remains under investigation. The OPP remind all members of the public to always be aware of their personal safety at all times. The OPP’s website, www.opp.ca, contains several useful resources, tips, and links.
