In an interview with HaltonHillsToday, the homeowners said one of the men took out a gun, raised it to the window and uttered threats.

Nothing was stolen and no physical injuries were reported.
No arrests have been made yet and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information can contact police at 905-825-4777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
