Chilliwack RCMP looking for witnesses, camera footage following break-and-enter on Menzies

The Chilliwack RCMP is hoping someone saw, or has video of, an alleged break-and-enter on Menzies Street this week.

Police were called to a home in the 9400-block of Menzies shortly after 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 9 where there was a report of a break-and-enter which was interrupted by a neighbour.

An 18-year-old woman, who was inside the home tending to the owners’ pets, suffered minor abrasions during the confrontation with the man who broke in.

The intruder rode away on a bicycle.

Frontline officers immediately conducted a thorough search of the area, however, did not locate the suspect.
