Man arrested close to year after violent home invasion in Yorkton

RCMP have made an arrest nearly a year after a violent home invasion in Yorkton.

Nathan Ortynsky, 24, was arrested Wednesday and charged with, among other things, two counts of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The other suspect connected with this case is still at large, and not much information is known about him.

Back in the evening of Oct. 22, 2015, two men broke into a home on Sunset Drive North, assaulted and tied up the elderly homeowners, and stole a large amount of money.

The victims were taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
