Three Winnipeg youths are facing charges after a pizza delivery driver was robbed at gunpoint in the city’s West End on Thursday.
Officers were called just before 7:30 p.m. to an apartment complex in the 500 block of Victor Street for a report of a robbery.
Police said a 26-year-old man had arrived at the building to drop off a pizza when a female suspect approached him outside, told him to wait, and walked away. Shortly afterward, two male suspects approached the driver, brandished what appeared to be a handgun, and demanded his pizza bag before fleeing the area.
The victim wasn’t injured.
Officers later located one of the suspects on a sidewalk in the 400 block of Broadway just before 10 p.m.
Police arrested the remaining suspects at a residence in the 500 block of Victor Street just after 11 p.m. Investigators also seized the weapon used in the robbery, which was later determined to be a CO2-propelled gun.
Two 16-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl have each been charged with armed robbery using a firearm. All three were released on undertakings.
