RCMP in the Fraser Valley are searching for clues to identify who stole three quarters of a million dollars worth of silver bullion during a recent home invasion.
It happened Feb. 9 in Chilliwack around 1:40 p.m. PT.
Police said two men entered a house in the 10000 block of Imperial Street and made off with thousands of ounces of bullion.
Const. Tracy Wolbeck said the suspects, who may have been wearing a uniform, bruised the sole occupant of the home during the robbery.
"Police are in the preliminary stages of investigating this incident," said Wolbeck. "We are hopeful that given the time of day, someone saw something and can give us some helpful information."
Wolbeck said people should think twice about storing valuables and cash in the home.
"[Do not] keep a significant amount of precious metal or money in your home like that. And if you do that, be sure to keep that information to yourself because obviously these people knew what they were looking for," said Wolbeck.
Wolbeck said investigators don't know why the victim was collecting silver bars.
