Burnaby RCMP are investigating what they believe was a potential home invasion Sunday morning.
Police said someone tried to gain entry to a basement suite in the 900-block of Duthie Avenue at approximately 6:12 a.m. but instead broke a window and deployed pepper spray into the residence.
A car at the home was also damaged, with a window broken and tires slashed, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Eidet.
"We haven't yet come up with a motive," said Eidet.
The residents of the home, who the police have had dealings with previously, are co-operating with the investigation.
