Langley RCMP catch man wanted for attempted murder, assault in New Brunswick

Aug 21, 2026 | 8:27 AM

LANGLEY — Langley police have arrested a suspect in connection with a serious crime that took place more than five months ago.

RCMP responded to the report of an unknown man breaking into a home in the Aldergrove area of Langley on March 13, at roughly 2:21 a.m.

The victim allegedly confronted the suspect and was assaulted during a “brief struggle”.

Investigators have since worked to find and locate a suspect, and on August 19, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges of attempted murder, assault with a weapon, break-and-enter of a dwelling house and disguising face with intent to commit an offence against 29-year-old Christian James MacLean.

Langley RCMP’s Serious Crime investigators then arrested MacLean in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

He was brought before New Brunswick courts, where he was taken into custody pending a return to B.C.

“As the matter is before the courts, no further details will be provided at this time,” said Sergeant Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP.  “The Court has ordered a publication ban regarding the identity of the victim.”

Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
