Winnipeg police have launched an investigation into a home invasion in the first 100 block of Highbury Road in south Winnipeg on Aug. 20.

A woman had been home with her grandchild when two unknown armed men entered the residence through an unlocked door. The men concealed their identities.

The victim was pushed to the floor while thieves ransacked the home, said police.

"Very upsetting, very distressing for this woman, and for investigators when we see this type of behavior. We have two individuals, identities concealed, brandishing weapons. It's of concern,” said Const. Eric Hofley from Winnipeg police.

The first suspect is described as black, about 25 to 30 years old, five feet five inches tall (165 cm) with a muscular build and some facial hair.

The second suspect is described as six feet tall (183 cm).
