Police are investigating a home invasion in Halifax.

Monday at about 3:00 a.m., officers responded to a report of a break-and-enter in progress at a residence on Stoneham Court.

Four men, who were unknown to the occupants, sprayed them with a sensory irritant, attempted to steal property and ran away empty-handed.

The suspects are described as white men, from 5’7″ to 6’ tall, wearing dark-coloured jeans and hooded sweatshirts.

If you have information or video from the area, call police at 902-490-5020.
