The RCMP have released dramatic video footage of an attempted home invasion robbery in Richmond, B.C.
The Mounties say the video was taken Oct. 6, outside a north Richmond home, as four men surrounded the house shortly before midnight.
The video shows two men approach the front door of the house while two others, who appeared to be armed with a rifle and a shotgun, waited at the side. Once the original two men leave, the armed pair enter the frame, though the door slams and they don't get inside.
Cpl. Dennis Hwang says the attack is not believed to be random. The homeowner is co-operating with police.
The Richmond Serious Crimes Unit has taken over the case and is searching for a Caucasian man with a medium build, wearing a grey or light-coloured hoodie and grey sweat pants.
The other three men wore similar clothing and Hwang says investigators want to speak to anyone who might be able to identify the four.
