The Windsor Police Service Major Crime Unit is trying to identify two suspects considered armed and dangerous as they investigate an armed home invasion.
Around 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 27, police say unknown suspects forced their way into a residence in the 1500-block of Howard Avenue, but the people living there managed to escape unharmed.
Shortly before midnight, officers responded to a firearms call that occurred in the 2000-block of Tecumseh Road East.
Investigators learned that two black males, who were both armed with firearms, got out of a black Mercedes Benz, approached a taxi before pointing their firearms at the driver and his passengers.
No one was injured during the incident.
Police say the passengers were the same residents from the home invasion.
