The Selkirk RCMP have arrested a 41-year-old man following a violent home invasion on McLean Avenue that occurred on the night of April 1, 2026.
Officers responded to the residence at approximately 11:40 p.m. after reports that a suspect had kicked in the door of the home. According to police, the intruder demanded money and assaulted the male resident with a knife before fleeing the scene on foot.
The victim was treated by emergency services at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators believe the attack was a targeted incident, as the victim and the suspect were known to each other.
Following the report, the police dog named Stewie from the RCMP Police Dog Services tracked the suspect to a nearby location on Main Street. He was arrested without further incident.
Chad Langlois, a resident of Scanterbury, now faces several charges, including three counts of assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and breaking and entering with intent. The City of Selkirk, home to roughly 10,504 residents, is served by a local detachment consisting of 18 police officers and six detachment service assistants.
