Home intruder plays piano, uses skateboard

SAANICH, British Columbia, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Two Asian teenagers visiting Canada will go home with scary memories of a drunken man entering their home, playing the piano and using a skateboard, police say.

News emerged Thursday about the incident at a home in Saanich, British Columbia, where the two teens were staying with relatives, the Victoria Times-Colonist reported.

Sunday afternoon, one of the teenagers heard the piano playing and went downstairs to find an inebriated man at the keyboard, Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen told the newspaper.

As the girl went to call police, the man made some racial slurs and then went outside and began playing on a skateboard, Jantzen said.

Police arrived and the man became violent and refused to take a breath test. He was arrested and charged with breaking into a home and refusing a breath test.

Outside the home, officers found a pick-up truck with a U-Haul trailer attached. Police suspect the 23-year-old man had earlier crashed the truck but continued driving it to the alleged break-in site on three wheels and a broken axle, Jantzen said.
