Manitoba RCMP have arrested a Winnipeg man after a complaint of sexual assault at a business in Thompson, Man., Tuesday afternoon.

With help from members of the public, officers found the man near a home on Westwood Avenue and arrested him without incident.

The 33-year-old remains in custody and faces a sexual assault charge, along with failing to comply with a probation order.

RCMP continue to investigate, and anyone with information is asked to call the Thompson detachment at 204-677-6909 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
