A Thunder Bay resident is facing multiple charges in relation to elder abuse.
In January city police received information that an elderly woman was believed to be dealing with ongoing abuse.
Earlier this week a suspect was identified and arrested.
A 50-year-old has been charged with forcible confinement, assault, and failure to provide the necessities of life.
The Thunder Bay Police Service Crimes Against Seniors Unit is reminding residents that anyone can do their part by speaking with older adults and checking in with them to ensure they are safe and know their rights.
