THIEVES LOOKING FOR MEDICINAL MARIJUANA THREATEN CHILLIWACK COUPLE

CHILLIWACK - Two people were terrorized inside their Chilliwack home by
thieves looking for medicinal marijuana.

The home invasion took place about 1:30 early Wednesday morning, according
to Chilliwack RCMP.

The suspects broke in, bound the two adults in the house, and used a pepper
spray and a stun gun on the male occupant. Police are still investigating
the incident for clues about the suspects.

"It was upwards of five people," Cpl. Sean Sullivan of the Chilliwack RCMP
said. "They were all gone prior to the police arrival."

After the incident, the male occupant was taken to hospital. His injuries
were not life-threatening and he was later released. As well, the couple's
two children were at home during the invasion but were not harmed. One of
the adults had a government permit to grow marijuana for medicinal reasons.
The suspects made off with a small amount of the substance.
