A man was arrested following an attempted home invasion in Swan River.

On October 28th, around 4:30 PM, RCMP responded to a report of an attempted home invasion occurring at a residence in Swan River.

A male suspect knocked on the door of the house. The 57-year-old resident, who knows the suspect, briefly opened a window and spoke to him, causing the suspect to walk away.

A short time later, the resident opened the door, and the suspect returned, resulting in a physical altercation between the two. The suspect forced his way into the residence and was then forced out.

The suspect then grabbed a rock and threw it at the house, then punched a window before walking away.

RCMP located the suspect a short distance from the home. The suspect refused to comply with police orders, prompting officers to assist him to the ground and arrest him.

A 33-year-old Swan River male faces charges of assault and break and enter with intent. The suspect was released on an undertaking.
