Woman accused of pulling handgun on taxi driver
10:39 AM
A 45-year-old woman accused of pulling a handgun on a Winnipeg taxi driver is facing multiple firearms-related charges.
It happened Sunday afternoon, at about 2:30 p.m., near the intersection of Concordia Avenue and Louelda Street. Officers learned a woman got into a cab in the Munroe East neighbourhood and pulled out a handgun, asking the driver to take her to a specific location, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release.
The taxi driver activated the taxi’s emergency beacon, exited the vehicle, and contacted police.
The woman got into the driver’s seat of the taxi, but the keys had been removed, and she fled on foot. A suspect was arrested shortly afterward in the 1000 block of Concordia Avenue. Police seized a .22-calibre handgun during the arrest.
Laney Sandra Nobiss, 45, was charged with several firearms offences and was detained in custody.
