WINNIPEG – Police say a cannabis store employee in Winnipeg was sexually assaulted during a robbery.
They say a man entered the store in the Centennial neighbourhood on Tuesday, waited for a customer to leave and locked the door.
They say he then went behind the counter and sexually assaulted the 24-year-old female worker.
Police say she pushed the man away and fled the store.
They say the man then left with an unknown quantity of cannabis products.
