Police are investigating an attempted break-in after a woman reported a frightening encounter at her home in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood on the evening of April 4.
According to the New Westminster Police Department (NWPD), officers responded to a 9-1-1 call at approximately 8:30 p.m. from a resident in the 900 block of 4th Street.
