North Vancouver RCMP are investigating after someone fired shots at a home in the Highlands neighbourhood last night.
Police received multiple 9-1-1 calls from the 3800-block of Sunnycrest Drive around 12:35 a.m. Friday, including a call from the home that was allegedly hit, according to Cpl. Richard de Jong, North Vancouver RC MP spokesman.
Though residents were home at the time of the shooting, no one was hurt in the shooting, de Jong said. "There was a speeding vehicle heard leaving the area. At that time of night, it's pretty quiet through there."
According to neighbours, the home at 3895 Sunnycrest Dr. is owned by a young couple with two young boys.
De Jong could not say if or why the home was targeted or if the residents are known to police.
Investigators have cordoned off the address and are searching for forensic evidence and interviewing neighbours.
"We are appealing to the public for any assistance if they saw any suspicious vehicle or occurrence at the time," he said. "We are speaking to the homeowners, to anyone who knows anything, to try to determine if this was targeted or was this a random shooting.. .
"For us, public safety is paramount and the police are taking this matter very seriously."
