Halifax Regional Police are investigating a violent home invasion in Dartmouth.

He then fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle.

The victim was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police later found the stolen vehicle, but not the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
