It happened on Thursday, Jan. 6 around 6:50 p.m. at the home near Craig St. where police said a suspect vehicle attempted to flee the scene.

Four men in the vehicle, all from Nanaimo, were arrested without incident following an alleged forced entry and assault.

The remaining men were released from custody without charges, a Nanaimo RCMP news release noted.
