Imagine walking into your home to find an intruder pilfering your stuff.

That's exactly what happened to a Port Moody resident late last year, and now police are asking for the public's help in finding the alleged crooks.

Port Moody police said the incident began on Nov. 29, after a resident returned home in the mid-afternoon to his Westhill Place residence to find a man on his balcony and the door ajar.

The owner then confronted the suspect, who was seen hurriedly walking away from the house toward a waiting vehicle.

The owner was able to capture images of the man and an accomplice on video using his cellphone. After a brief argument, the suspects took off and drove away.

Police believe the suspects fled in a stolen vehicle and struck a parked car while making their escape.

Investigators also confirmed the break-in story, noting various small items such as jewelry and cash were stolen from the house.

The first suspect is described as a Caucasian man, standing six-feet one-inch tall weighing 185 pounds.

He's between the ages of 25 and 30 and had a shaved head, a goatee and was wearing a black Adidas tracksuit.

The man was also described as having a "Maritime" accent and a noticeable tattoo on his hand.

The second suspect was described as a Caucasian man in his mid-50s, standing approximately five-feet 10-inches tall, weighing 180 pounds with greying brown hair. This suspect also had a "Maritime" accent.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Port Moody Police Department.
