Two girls — one only 12 years old — are facing charges after a woman was stabbed and robbed in a store parking lot on McGillivray Boulevard last month.
Officers were sent to the 2300 block shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 26. The victim, who is in her early 60s, was taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.
The Winnipeg Police Service said Monday that she was walking back to her vehicle after shopping when two girls demanded her purse. One of the girls stabbed her when she “did not initially comply,” police said.
The suspects grabbed her purse and ran away. People in the parking lot helped the victim and called 911.
On Thursday, a teen girl told police she had been threatened at knifepoint by two girls she knows and driven to Brandon in a stolen vehicle. She was let out there, and the other two girls drove away.
The two teens continued on to Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. Two people were arrested with the help of Virden RCMP on Friday.
A 14-year-old girl is charged with robbery, possession of a weapon, forcible confinement, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, four counts of failing to comply with a sentence and two counts of failing to comply with a release order. She was detained in custody.
A 12-year-old female is facing charges of robbery and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. She was released on an undertaking.
