Police have arrested two men and are seeking two other suspects accused of taking part in a home invasion yesterday around 10 p.m.

Three men were assaulted in a Meadow Lake home by four men who forced their way into the house according to a media release from the RCMP. The victims were all transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. One man was arrested at the scene of the incident.

Police later arrested a second suspect. Both Michael Eugene Poitras, 27, and Grand Stuart Poitras, 37, from Meadow Lake are charged with pointing a firearm, forcible confinement and assault with a weapon. Both are due in court on Sept. 11.

Police have issued warrants for Waylon Sylvestre, 27, and John Iron, 25, for several offences. Investigators believe the suspects and victims are known to each other.
