York Regional Police are looking for two suspects, after a man was shot in Nobleton during an armed home invasion.
Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit are seeking at least two suspects after an armed home invasion resulted in an adult male being shot in the Township of King.
On Monday, Nov. 4 at approximately 6:23 p.m., police responded to reports of a male shot at a residence in the area of Paradise Valley Trail and Fairmont Ridge Trail. When officers arrived, a 39-year-old was located and taken to a trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers learned that a residence was broken into by two armed suspects. When a male not associated to the residence attended to assist the homeowners, he was confronted by the suspects who then shot him. The suspects fled the residence and were last seen getting into a pick-up truck that fled the scene.

Boyd said YRP is hosting an open house Monday, Nov. 18, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the King Township Municipal Centre in King City. The meeting will give residents an opportunity to receive updates and share concerns.
