Manitoba RCMP have released a sketch of a man they say abducted a Manitoba teen on Sunday.
The girl, 16, was walking her dog on Ste Anne’s Road southeast of Landmark, Man. at about 7 a.m. when a man drove his black pick-up truck beside her and offered her a ride. When she said no, he jumped out of the truck and forced her into it.

The driver continued to Road 45 N. about 2.5 kilometres away and the truck began to slow, said Sgt. Paul Manaigre of the Manitoba RCMP. “I think it was getting stuck, on a mud road as it might, I guess, being wet the last few days.”
At this point, the teen managed to jump out of the truck and run to a nearby house. She suffered minor injuries, said police.
