Police said several people entered the home, assaulted a man inside and then took him away. The victim was assaulted a second time and then dropped off in another part of the community. The victim's injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.

On Friday, OPP arrested Patrick Lennox, 37, of Napanee, Ont. Lennox is charged with multiple offences, including assault, kidnapping, robbery and theft.
