Two charged in Hodgson attacks

Five people were injured when two males tried kicking in doors in Hodgson.

Peguis RCMP were called about three such incidents in one neighbourhood at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

The men got into two houses and assaulted people inside but were not able to get into the third home. Two victims, a 43-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The other three people suffered minor injuries, RCMP said in a news release Friday.

The men also caused serious property damage inside and outside the homes — to furniture, house windows and parked vehicles.

Two 27-year-old Peguis First Nation men were charged with offences related to assault, breaking-and-entering and mischief. One was also charged with failing to comply with conditions of a release order. They were remanded in custody.
