LA RONGE, Sask. – A Saskatchewan man has been arrested after police say three people were threatened at gunpoint and each had a finger chopped off.

RCMP in La Ronge say their investigation began in late June after they received a report about an injured person at the local hospital.

They say it was determined that a man took three adult victims who were known to him to a rural location where they were allegedly threatened with a gun and assaulted, including each having a finger removed.

A 30-year-old man from La Ronge was charged in late July with more than two dozen counts, including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and more.

Police say he was arrested without incident in the northern Saskatchewan town on Friday.

La Ronge is about 380 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
