Assault with a Weapon – Investigation/Arrests: C20-42097

On February 23, 2020, at approximately 5:06 p.m., an off-duty Winnipeg Police Service officer witnessed a theft at a Liquor Mart in the 800 block of Dakota Street. A number of suspects had stolen a large quantity of alcohol and fled.

The officer contacted the WPS Communications Centre and requested assistance. He then followed the suspects to the area of Sterling Avenue and St. Anne’s Road, at which time he was assaulted, but was able to apprehend a male suspect. The other suspects fled and the officer was transported to hospital where he was treated and later released for injuries he sustained during the assault.

At approximately 7:45 p.m., a second male suspect was located in the area of William Avenue and Harriet Street where he was taken into custody.
