RCMP say a youth was home alone when three men with a firearm burst in.

It happened at around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday on Bissett Road in Cole Harbour

“One of the men, who brandished a handgun, demanded if anyone Black lived in the home,” Mounties said in a news release. “When the youth said no, the men immediately left.”

The youth wasn't hurt.

The trio were seen leaving the area in a four door sedan that was parked nearby.

All are described as Black men no more than 30 years old. Two of them were wearing black ski masks and the third had long hair.

Police do not believe this was a random act.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 902-490-5020 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
