York Regional Police are looking for several men after an armed home invasion near Toronto.

Police released a video on Thursday showing at least two masked men rushing inside a house and both were carrying guns.

In a news release, York Regional Police said they were called to a home in the area of Charlotte Abby Drive and Holland Landing Road in the town of East Gwillimbury, north of Toronto, on February 14.

A video captured by a Furbo camera shows two residents of the home and a pet walking around before two people dressed all in black with white gloves stormed in with guns.

Later in the video, one of the residents is seen walking upstairs and is being held by one of the suspects.

Police say a resident told officers that several "male suspects broke into the residence armed with guns."

According to police, one of the suspects "pistol whipped" one of the victims while demanding money.

The man was treated by paramedics for minor injuries and no one else was injured.

The suspects took "various valuables" from the home before taking off in a light-coloured vehicle, police said.

The suspects are described as "males, wearing masks, dark clothing and hoodies."

Police are now looking to speak to anyone with video surveillance or dashcam footage in the area at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6630 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or you can also leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
