Two suspects are wanted by Winnipeg police in connection with a robbery of a taxicab driver earlier this year.
Police say the driver picked up two fares on January 25, 2018 at the corner of Portage Avenue and Sherbrook Street at around 5 a.m.
Both men directed the driver to a residence on Greenway Crescent West.
As the ride came to an end, one of the suspects asked the driver to stop and exited the vehicle. Police say the other suspect pulled out a knife and robbed the driver of cash and a cell phone. The driver wasn’t injured.

The second suspect is described as Caucasian in appearance, in his mid-20s with a thin build and wearing a dark-coloured jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at (204) 986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at (204) 786-TIPS (8477).
