Winnipeg police have arrested a man linked to a string of robberies and thefts in the Polo Park and Crestview areas.
Investigators say that on July 14, 2025, 48-year-old Ryan William Allingham allegedly stole a woman’s purse in a Portage Avenue parking lot and later used her credit card for multiple fraudulent purchases. Police say he is also reportedly connected to other thefts reported between July and August.
On October 1, the Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit arrested Allingham at a Bannatyne Avenue residence.
He faces multiple charges, including four counts of robbery, three counts of theft under $5,000, 13 counts of credit card fraud, and two breaches of release orders. Allingham remains in custody.
