A Winnipeg transit driver says she is traumatized after she was surrounded by multiple police officers pointing guns at her near her North End home because they mistakenly thought she was driving a stolen truck.
The incident has left her wanting an apology from Winnipeg police.
On Dec. 27, Karen Robson, 54, had just finished her shift and was driving home in her father’s 2011 Silverado pickup truck around 1:30 a.m. when she noticed a black vehicle was following her.
It wasn’t until she was almost home and parking the truck on the side street that she realized the vehicle was actually an unmarked police car.
