Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Aug, 2023 09:44 AM

A 36-year-old man is in custody after an alleged home invasion in Fort Nelson left a homeowner with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Mounties say they received reports of the incident on Wednesday night, when the attacker reportedly entered a home on Boundary Road and took keys from a rack.

Police say the homeowner chased the attacker out of the home, only to be assaulted down the street by the suspect before community members intervened, allowing officers to arrest the man after a brief struggle.

Randell Cole Auger has been charged with break and enter, theft, obstruction and two assault charges and is being held while awaiting his next court appearance.
