At approximately 10:20 PM on Monday evening, police received reports of a home invasion that had just occurred in the 3500 block of James Heights in Saanich. An unknown male forced entry to the front door of the residence surprising the two occupants of the home, the 85 year old male resident, and his 59 year old daughter.
