Man arrested after alleged attempted home invasion in Fort St. John, B.C.

FORT ST. JOHN — Police say a man is likely facing charges in relation to an alleged attempted home invasion in northeastern British Columbia.

RCMP say they were called to the scene at a home near the intersection of Peace River Road and 111th Avenue in Fort St. John on Dec. 20 at around 6 p.m.

Police say the call was from someone reporting a man allegedly trying to get into the home, and officers immediately set up a “containment,” which led to the suspect surrendering.

They say one victim was physically assaulted at the scene, but did not release any additional details.
