RCMP searching for suspect in child abduction
According to RCMP, the incident took place on Aug. 1. Officers were called at 10:30 p.m. for a report an armed man broke into a home and possibly took two children.
Mounties said a woman was at home with five children and three other adults when a man who she knew allegedly broke in and started threatening everyone with a homemade weapon. The adults, along with three children all under the age of 12 were able to escape. Officers were told two very young children couldn't be safely taken out of the home and were inside with the armed man.
'Officers entered the residence and searched the home for the suspect and the two children,' RCMP said in a news release. 'They located a one-year-old infant sleeping safely, however, the armed male as well as a two-year-old infant were not in the home.'
The two-year-old was later found unharmed at a nearby home, but the suspect was not found.
A warrant has been issued for 29-year-old Allan Marsden of Lake St. Martin First Nation. He is facing charges of four counts of assault with a weapon, abduction of a person under 14, mischief under $5,000 and breaking and entering. None of the charges have been proven in court.
Anyone with information on his location is asked to call RCMP at 204-659-2682.
