2-year-old found safe after man broke into home, left with infant in Interlake First Nation, RCMP say
RCMP are asking for the public's help in finding a man charged with child abduction after a man broke into a home at an Manitoba Interlake First Nation last week and left with a two-year-old child who was later found safe. Mounties at the Gypsumville detachment were called last Friday at around 10:30 p.m. to a home in Lake St. Martin First Nation, about 220 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, for reports of an armed man who had possibly abducted two children. Officers learned four adults and five children were inside the home when a man, who was known to a woman in the house, broke in and threatened everyone with a homemade weapon, police said in a news release Thursday. The four adults and three of the children, all under the age of 12, managed to escape, but two young children couldn't be taken out and stayed with the armed man at the home. Officers went into the house and found a one-year-old infant sleeping. Police said the armed man and a two-year-old child were not in the home. The investigation led police to a nearby home where they found the missing two-year-old unharmed. The armed man was not found at the home and remains at large, police said. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 29-year-old Allan Marsden from Lake St. Martin First Nation. He is facing several charges including abduction under a person under 14, assault with a weapon, breaking and entering, and failing to comply with a release order. Marsden is six feet tall, weighs 198 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.
