Home invasion robbery in North Burnaby



May 03 2006

Burnaby RCMP are searching for the suspect in a home invasion robbery Tuesday morning in north Burnaby.
At about 9 a.m. a man armed with a black handgun broke into a home in the 300-block of Esmond Avenue and demanded cigarettes and money from a female resident who did not know the suspect, say police.
The man grabbed a laptop computer, two cell phones and some jewelry before asking the woman how to get upstairs in the house. He headed to the stairs and was trying to kick the upstairs door open when a male resident upstairs grabbed the suspect’s arm through the partially-opened door. With his other hand, the male resident grabbed a knife and then lunged at the suspect.
That was enough to scare off the suspect, who fled by jumping into a silver Mazda RX-8.
No one was seriously injured in the incident.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, six feet tall, 180 pounds, with brown hair and wearing a black ball cap, black leather jacket, black gloves and jeans. The vehicle is believed to have been stolen in Vancouver earlier that day.
Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OMG, the curse continues!!

i would have slammed the guys arm in the door really hard a few times instead of going for a knife.

did the thief wreck it when fleeign the scene? :p:

... oh shit this sucks.

only a matter of time my friend...

thats why everyone should carry a side arm.

Doesn't actually say anything about stealing an RX-8. Maybe it was his and he's on this forum. :Eyecrazy:

if he floods it we can flame him when he asked this forum for answers

oh, Canada

Oh F this!!! I'm trading in for another color, getting parnoid to even park it outside now.

read on MacDuff:)

2nd to last sentence.

.:edit:. zoom got it first.

I agree -- I would have slammed the guys hand in the door several times and then gone to work on him. All I know is if anyone every breaks into my house, once I have them down let's just say if I didn't kill them from use of a personal handgun... I'd wait a little bit before calling the cops *winks* and give my boys *flexes arms* a little workout on the piece of shit's face :)

Yes I'm from texas, yes I love guns, and yes if you break into my house you will pay the ultimate price :)

I would have laughed so hard if he jumped into the RX-8 and it flooded while he tried to get away or how it crashed because it was silver. I can picture him in jail talking to his fellow inmates about how they all got busted. :cwm27: :yelrotflm :rollingla

just stake out a few gas stations and he'll show up sooner or later

Why am I not surprised this happened in the car theft capital of North America. (re: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew..._name=&no_ads=)

Now I know why I don't live there anymore ;) Good 'ol Vancouver.

Sunlight Silver is a hipnautical color known to cause males inner glutics cortecule spasmo-matri to de-sensatize at a fraction the time it takes the females same glutics to react to the same color spectrum.And it stands to reason why the male tends to be suseptibal of such a crime.....when I cruise Houston I tend to ride my S.S 8 around groups of females much longer at a specific time interval then repeat the same series of passes until, walla, chicks are all over my car and me :kiss:

:bsflag: lol

why would you steal a rx8 and then use it as you getaway car in a robery? pick something that doesn't friggin stick out like a civic, if you're going to commit a crime.

maybe the crook wanted to lose the cops.... IN THE TWISTIES!!!!!!

:mdrmed:

"029er THIS IS OFFICER SMITH, WE'RE CHASIN A SILVER...... SOMETHING...... WHO KNOWS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A V-8!!! OVER!!!!"

Agree. I'm shocked someone identified it as an RX-8. Now all the other cops will have to be trained on what an RX-8 looks like in order to find it.

Hey Canada, you hosers have theives with good taste, eh?
