RCMP in Chilliwack, B.C., are investigating the theft of almost $750,000 worth of silver bullion.
Police say two men forced their way into a home in the 10000-block of Imperial Street last Wednesday afternoon and took several thousand ounces of the bullion.
The person at the house during the home invasion was bruised in the scuffle, and could only say he believed the suspects could have been wearing uniforms.
Const. Tracy Wolbeck couldn't say why someone would have that much silver in their home, but adds the amount the owner had doesn't appear to be criminal.
Wolbeck says it definitely appears as if the suspects knew what they were looking for and police delayed the release of the information while they explored other avenues of investigation.
Now she says they're hoping someone with information about the mid-afternoon robbery may come forward.
