A group of teenagers has been arrested after three other teens were assaulted and robbed inside Polo Park mall on Friday, police say.
Winnipeg police officers arrested eight youths, ages 13 to 17, outside the mall, on Madison Street, and recovered a large knife and an imitation gun nearby.
The teens are facing charges of robbery and multiple weapons offences. They were released on undertakings.
Police said two groups of youths were involved in a verbal confrontation when one group assaulted three victims who had taken refuge in a shop.
One accused brandished a concealed firearm before the assault and another robbed one of the victims of his phone, police said.
The victims and the accused did not know each other, police said.
Winnipeg police’s major crimes unit has asked anyone with information to call 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
Police don’t expect to make any more arrests.
