Youth arrested with knife

Steinbach RCMP made a Sunday afternoon arrest of a 13-year-old female youth after being tipped off that she had a knife.

Police say they received a report about the youth with the knife at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday from someone at the skate park.

When they arrived, the youth was gone but was pointed out to officers as she was walking down Lumber Avenue.

“The 13-year-old female youth, from Steinbach, was approached and placed under arrest for possession of a weapon and later released to her parents,” RCMP said in a Monday press release.

No injuries were reported, and officers located and seized the knife.

She is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 3.
