Vancouver police are investigating an early morning break-in at a home of a senior Huawei executive who was arrested on U.S. fraud allegations last week.

The house in the 4000-block of W. 28th Avenue is owned by the husband of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies. Meng was arrested Dec. 1 while on a layover at Vancouver International Airport at the request of U.S. authorities.

On Sunday, police confirmed it received a 911 call at 5:30 a.m. reporting a home invasion at a property on W. 28th Avenue near Crown.

“The suspects fled the area after being challenged by someone in the house,” said Vancouver Police spokesman Const. Jason Doucette in an email. “No one was injured and no arrests have been made.”

Doucette said officers have collected evidence at the scene, and are now trying to identify those responsible for the break-in.

By Sunday afternoon, the house in a quiet Dunbar neighbourhood appeared to be back to normal. A man who answered the door politely declined to comment, saying they were busy at the moment.
