"I shouted, jumped out of bed and went towards them": Victim recounts violent home invasion

There has been a sharp rise in car thefts and home invasions in the Greater Toronto Area. Would leaving your car key by the front door make a difference?

A Toronto Police officer suggested that to residents, seemingly to avoid break-ins turning violent.

One Toronto-area resident who recounted his own violent home invasion said this isn't the solution. He said that doesn't work when you've got top-notch anti-theft measures.

"And then having those people get the keys and not being able to steal my car successfully, forcing them to come up and put a Glock 9 mm to my head, that's not a good solution," Peter told Global News.

Mark Carcasole reports.
