Ottawa — The Ottawa Police Service Robbery Unit is investigating a March home invasion and is seeking the public’s assistance to identify the suspect responsible.
On March 27, 2015, at approximately 7:00 pm, a lone male attended an apartment building situated along the 1500 block of Riverside Drive. The suspect knocked on the door and once opened, forced his way into an apartment. A physical altercation took place between this male and an occupant. The suspect searched around the apartment and then left with several items. The occupant sustained minor injuries in the scuffle. Investigators are satisfied that this was not a random event.
The suspect is described as being a black male, English speaking, 20-30 years of age, 5’8-5’10 (173 cm-178 cm) tall, 170 lbs (77 kg), with an athletic build (image attached.)
