The Regina Police Service is asking for help from the public in the investigation of a Break and Enter/Home Invasion that happened at a house in the 1200 block of Athol Street last night.
Police were dispatched at about 11:20 p.m. to a house in the 1200 block of Athol Street last night for what was initially described as a weapons offence. When police arrived they found a 61 year-old female victim who described that she had earlier been downstairs in her house when she heard a noise.
