Council Bluffs Police are investigating a home invasion that reportedly took place at around 9:17-a.m. today (Tuesday), at 310 Parkwild Drive. Initial information received by officers was that a white male, armed with a hand gun, had forced entry into the residence with the home owner inside the residence in an upstairs bedroom. The home owner gave information that he had weapons inside his residence that the suspect might be able to gain access to.

With that information the Council Bluffs PD’s Emergency Services Teams was called out for entry into the residence. A short time later we were able to find that the home owner was not in the residence and that he had received information about the break in from his home security system.

With the new information, Officers on scene entered the residence along with a K-9 unit and searched the residence and found the residence to be unoccupied. Officers did find evidence that there was forced entry into the residence but at the time of this release nothing had been found missing. Photos were taken of damage done to the residence.

The only suspect information at this time is a white male in his 20’s wearing a red and white hat. If you have any information about the incident please call Crime Stoppers at 712-328-7867.
