After two home invasions in York Region this past week, York Regional Police are seeking multiple suspects.
The home invasions took place in Aurora and King and both involved multiple male suspects, police said.
The home invasion in Aurora happened on Sept. 16 at about 12:50 a.m., police said, in the area of Nicklaus Drive and Mavrinac Boulevard.
Police said that three male suspects with firearms forced their way into the home, waking up the occupants.
The suspect demanded money and valuables before one suspect assaulted a female victim, police said.
The suspects stole money, jewelry, and other personal belongings before fleeing out the front door, police said. The female victim suffered minor injuries.
The suspects are described as males in their early 20s and were wearing black ski masks.
In King, police were called to a home in the area of Parkheights Trail and Blackduck Trail on Sept. 15, at about 1:30 a.m. for a robbery.
Once on the scene, police learned that four male suspects, possibly with two handguns, forced entry into the residence, police said.
The four occupants of the house awoke and a female victim was hit in the head by a suspect who police believe was holding a handgun.
The suspects fled out the front door into a dark-coloured SUV and left the area, police said. The suspects did not take anything from the home, but the female victim was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Two suspects are described as South Asian males between the ages of 18 and 28, both believed to be holding a handgun, police said. The other two suspects were described as only being male.
Both of the investigations are ongoing. Investigators are seeking anyone with video surveillance or dashcam footage in the area at the time of the incident.
