Provincial police say officers responded to a report about a home invasion in progress Tuesday around 6 a.m. at a house on Crestridge Drive.
Police say the suspects were gone by the time officers arrived, but the investigation revealed the trio forcibly entered the home and failed to steal the occupant's vehicle keys before taking off empty-handed.
