An attempted break-and-enter in Upper Lynn Valley drew an armed North Vancouver RCMP response Friday evening.
RC MP got a 9-1-1 call just after 5 p.m. from a home on the 1500-block of McNair Drive after a resident found someone trying to break in.
"The lone suspect, dressed in all black clothing, fled the residence when noticed by the lone occupant in the residence," stated Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RC MP spokesman in a press release.
Police scoured the area and nearby trails, including bringing the Air 1 helicopter and an available emergency response team, however they could not turn up a suspect.
"We treat these as a high priority any time there's a person who barges into a residence," De Jong said.
Although no one was injured and nothing stolen, De Jong could not say if the home was targeted or whether the suspect was armed.
Investigators are asking anyone who saw any suspicious vehicles or activity in the area to call the North Vancouver detachment at 604-985-1311.
