RCMP Release Composite Sketch in Two Hills Home Invasion Investigation
Alberta RCMP have taken a significant step forward in their investigation of a home invasion that occurred in east-central Alberta in mid-January 2026. Authorities have released a composite sketch of a man they believe is one of two individuals responsible for the incident, which took place east of the community of Brosseau.
Details of the January Incident
The Two Hills RCMP detachment is leading the investigation into the home invasion, which happened in a rural area approximately 150 kilometers east of Edmonton. While specific details about what transpired during the invasion remain limited as the investigation continues, police have confirmed they are treating it as a serious criminal matter.
"The release of this sketch is a crucial part of our investigative process," said a representative from the Two Hills RCMP. "We believe the individual depicted was directly involved in the incident, and we are urging anyone with information to come forward."
Public Assistance Sought
Police are actively seeking the public's help in two key areas:
- Identifying the man in the sketch: The composite image shows a male with distinct facial features. RCMP are asking anyone who recognizes this individual to contact them immediately.
- Locating a second suspect: Investigators have confirmed that two men were involved in the home invasion. While they have released a sketch of one suspect, they continue to search for information leading to the identification of the second individual.
The RCMP have established multiple channels for tip submission, including a dedicated tip line and online reporting options. They emphasize that even small pieces of information could prove valuable to the investigation.
Community Impact and Police Response
Home invasions in rural areas present unique challenges for law enforcement due to the dispersed population and limited witness opportunities. The Two Hills RCMP have increased patrols in the affected area and are working closely with neighboring detachments to share information and resources.
"Community safety is our top priority," the RCMP statement continued. "Incidents like this understandably cause concern among residents, and we want to assure the public that we are dedicating significant resources to resolving this case."
Police have not released information about potential motives or whether anything was stolen during the invasion, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. They have also not disclosed whether any injuries occurred during the incident.
The RCMP remind residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods. They also recommend basic home security measures, such as ensuring doors and windows are properly secured and being cautious about who is granted entry to homes.
As the investigation enters its second month, the release of the suspect sketch represents a strategic move by police to generate new leads. The Two Hills RCMP anticipate that public recognition of the individual depicted could provide the breakthrough needed to advance the case significantly.
