ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) – Abbotsford Police are worried some guns stolen from the home of an elderly couple yesterday will be re-sold to gang members.

Constable Ian MacDonald says three masked men broke in, pushed the couple in their 70’s to the ground, and then tied them up.

“Ultimately they found a number of firearms ranging from hand guns through to long guns and a large quantity of ammunition. The couple was transported to hospital and received treatment for minor injuries which included cuts and bruises. They’re obviously still shaken up,” says MacDonald.

The men didn’t take anything else so MacDonald thinks guns were the focus and the suspects likely knew they were in the home.

He says the weapons were fully licensed and police have never had any incidents with the couple.
