Waterloo Regional Police are trying to identify the owner and driver of a pick-up truck after a home invasion in Kitchener.

Police said a dark-coloured GMC Sierra quad cab pick-up truck, believed to be a 2014 to 2019 model, was in the area of the violent incident.

It occurred around 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 in the Florencedale Crescent and Tartan Avenue area.

Three masked men reportedly followed a victim into their residence, brandished firearms, and threatened and assaulted the victim.

The male suspects demanded specific items from the victim, so investigators believe it was a targeted home invasion.

Anyone with information or surveillance footage relating to the incident and ‘vehicle of interest’ is asked to contact local authorities.
