A 13-year-old from Vogar, Man., was arrested and taken into custody Sunday afternoon, when he was spotted walking along the road at Ebb & Flow First Nation without proper clothing for the extreme cold.

Upon confirming his identity, police said they confirmed he was under a number of court-imposed conditions, including a ban on being in that community.

A search turned up a large knife in his front waistband, as well as a smaller knife in his pocket and two digital scales.
