Manitoba RCMP have made an arrest in connection with a violent home invasion that took place early Tuesday in the community of Erickson.
Officers from the Wasagaming detachment were called to a home on 2nd Street NW just before 2 a.m., where they found a 30-year-old woman with “significant” but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said a male suspect, who wasn’t previously known to the victim, fled the scene after the incident.

An 18-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday afternoon and remains in custody.
The victim was treated for her injuries and later moved to hospital in Winnipeg.
“We can gladly report now she’s in stable condition, but she’s going to have some matters to take care of for quite a while now in relation to the injuries,” said RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre. “The injuries were quite severe.”
Wasagaming RCMP officers continue to investigate with the help of the Mounties’ major crimes unit.
