The Thérèse-De Blainville Intermunicipal Police (RIPTB) is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding a violent home invasion that occurred in Lorraine on Sunday evening.
Shortly after 9:00 PM, officers were called to a single-family home on Chemin de Lachalade following reports of a possible break-in. According to initial information, suspects entered the home and held two people — a man and a woman — against their will.
Upon arrival, police found the man with visible injuries resulting from physical violence. He was transported to a hospital for treatment, though his life is not believed to be in danger. The woman sustained minor injuries. Authorities also confirmed that an irritating volatile substance was used during the incident, though details on its nature have not been released.
“Our officers are currently interviewing the victims and witnesses, and gathering various pieces of evidence to establish the exact circumstances of the event,” said Chief Inspector Karine Desaulniers. “A crime scene perimeter has been set up, and forensic identification services will examine the site to help move the investigation forward.”
No arrests have been made so far, and the investigation remains ongoing.
