According to police, officers received a call just before 10 p.m. for reports of an unlawful entry into a residence near the intersection of Truax Lane and Bannister street on Vasey Road in the village of Waverly, Tay Township.

All residents were unharmed in the incident, according to police and the suspects left the scene in a dark coloured Dodge Durango vehicle.
The suspects are described as three black males wearing bandanas, and police have not provided any further description.

Investigators believe this is an isolated incident, and there is no threat to public safety.
Anyone with information or a dashcam or surveillance video is asked to contact the OPP or crime stoppers.
