Vancouver police investigate break-in attempt at family home of Huawei’s Sabrina Meng Wanzhou; suspects fled after being confronted by resident

Vancouver police are investigating an attempted break-in at the family home of Huawei CFO Sabrina Meng Wanzhou, adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the international furore over her arrest in this west-coast Canadian city at the request of Washington nine days ago.

Police spokesman Constable Jason Doucette said that just before 5.30am on Sunday, a 911 call was received about a home being broken into on West 28th Avenue, in the expensive neighbourhood of Dunbar.
