Winnipeg police say they are searching for three male suspects after an attempted robbery of an armored truck Thursday night.
Two security guards were at a bank on the 1500 block of Kenaston Boulevard, when one left their truck to go inside, says a Saturday media release. When the guard returned, police say a man wearing a face covering grabbed him from behind and two other men who were also wearing face coverings appeared and demanded the driver open the truck door.
The guard did not open the door, and the suspects fled in a dark coloured vehicle.
A black Volkswagon Jetta was found abandoned in the 1900 block of McCreary Road and police believe it was involved in the crime.
The major crimes unit is working to canvas witnesses to establish the suspects’ descriptions. Police say the suspects are three tall men, wearing all black with face coverings.
Anyone with information on the robbery or abandoned car is asked to call 204-986-6219 or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477 or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
