A rural Manitoba school was put into lockdown Monday while Selkirk RCMP tracked down a suspect with a stolen vehicle.
The truck was reported stolen Sunday night and was known to have a gun and a knife inside. RCMP received word the pick-up had been sighted around 11 a.m. They called in dog services and made the decision to place Clandeboye School in lockdown as a precaution.
RCMP were told the truck had been travelling in the Petersfield area and managed to track it down around 1:30 p.m.
The 29-year-driver from St. Andrews was arrested and taken into custody pending charges.
