Man shot while helping neighbours during home invasion in Nobleton, police say
A man was shot while trying to help his neighbours during a home invasion in Nobleton Monday evening, York Regional Police say.
Officers were called to a residence on Paradise Valley Trail around 6:30 p.m.
“The investigation is in the early stages and information is limited, but we can confirm that this was a home invasion where the victim that was shot attended a residence to assist the owners,” Constable Kevin Nebrija said in an email to CP24.
The victim was taken to a trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries.
Nebrija said two males, who are considered the suspects, were seen getting into a pickup truck and fleeing the scene. They are described as Black, tall with a slim build, and wearing construction vests and hooded sweatshirts.
“The community can expect a police presence in the area while the scene is processed and a canvass for additional witnesses and surveillance video is conducted,” he said.
Police have not said if the incident is linked to another break-and-enter in the same area almost two weeks ago.

On the afternoon of Oct. 22, officers were called to a residence and arrived to find two suspects who tried to leave.
Police said the suspects then drove their vehicle into a cruiser before striking “multiple” civilian vehicles.
The suspects allegedly ditched the car and fled the scene on foot. One suspect was arrested a short time later. Police said a firearm was discovered near the abandoned vehicle.
