PENTICTION - Police are searching for the last suspect involved in the forcible confinement and assault of a Summerland man in April.
Police say a 59-year-old man was allegedly lured into an apartment on Pickering Avenue in Penticton on April 9, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. Five offenders forcibly confined him in the apartment.
