A Kelowna man made a frightening escape from his own home Wednesday morning after two disguised men broke in.
Kelowna RCMP say the home invasion happened in the 800 block of Hewetson Avenue just before 3:00am.
The two suspects threatened the property owner, who was alone at the time, and made verbal demands before he was able to run away to a neighbors house and call 911.
The suspects left in a pick-up truck that was later found abandoned by police in the driveway of a home on nearby South Ridge Drive.
Both suspects were described to police as wearing black hoodies with their faces covered. One suspect was described as a Caucasian male, approximately 6 feet tall and around 190 pounds. The second suspect, also a Caucasian male, stood approximately 5 foot 8 inches in height.
The Kelowna RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS) has been engaged and continues to assist with the still ongoing investigation.
