Richmond Mounties are hoping a sketch of a break-in suspect — who pepper-sprayed the homeowner — will strike a chord with a member of the public.
The incident happened last May and the RCMP, having exhausted all avenues of investigation, are hoping someone recognizes the man.
On the day in question, around 4 p.m., the owner returned home at around to find the front door of his residence kicked in.
He then came face to face with a suspect, who deployed some type of pepper spray chemical in his face before fleeing the scene.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, five foot, six inches tall, with short blonde hair.
The homeowner worked with an RCMP forensic artist and both were able to come up with the sketch, pictured.
