Police Investigating Bradford Home Invasion and Assault

Seek Public Assistance

(BRADFORD, On) –On February 13, 2026, at approximately 1:45 p.m., the South Simcoe Police Service received a report of a home invasion at a residence on McCann Crescent in Bradford West Gwillimbury.

An occupant of the home reported that three suspects wearing masks forced entry into the residence, and two of the suspects were armed with handguns. Once inside, one suspect assaulted an occupant by striking them in the face. All three suspects then fled the scene in a grey Honda Civic bearing Ontario licence plate CTKS 832, which had been reported stolen in the City of Toronto on February 10, 2026.

The suspects are described as males wearing black clothing and balaclavas. Officers have obtained video footage from the surrounding area and are releasing images of the suspects and the stolen vehicle in an appeal to the public for information.

The occupant who was assaulted was transported to hospital for assessment, treated, and released. Two additional occupants were present during the incident and did not sustain any injuries. The incident appears to be isolated, and there is no ongoing risk to public safety.
