WINNIPEG -- A man armed with a knife robbed two teenagers in the Manitoba community of New Bothwell on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Around 7:30 p.m., RCMP officers responded to a report that the teens, aged 16 and 17, were robbed as they were walking to a store.

Mounties allege that a man, armed with a knife, went up to the teens and demanded money from them.

The two victims gave what they had and ran home to tell their parents.

Police also seized a knife and clothing.

Doerksen is in custody and is set to appear in court on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Police continue to investigate the incident.
