Three men armed with swords and a machete broke their way into a Silver Heights home and confronted a 34-year-old woman with her two children Friday morning.

The men knocked on the door in the 200 block of Whytewold Road and then forced their way in at about 5:20 a.m. They demanded money, property, "and potentially even drugs," said police spokesman, Const. Jason Michalyshen.

The children were in bed at the time. A large TV was stolen and placed in a waiting vehicle.

The home invasion wasn't random, he said. "The suspects appear to have had a bit of a plan," Michalyshen said. The woman was not injured.

Police and the Canine Unit responded and tracked down the three suspects after a brief foot chase.

Charged are Aymen Chioua, 21; Christopher Walker, 25; and Michael MacKenzie, 21, all of Winnipeg. They face numerous charges including possession of a weapon, break and entry to commit robbery and disguise with intent. All three were remanded into custody.
