Winnipeg, MB – Seven youths have been arrested after a fast-moving robbery spree across Winnipeg’s North End on Sunday evening, October 26, according to the Winnipeg Police Service.
Officers were first called to a fast-food restaurant in the 2100 block of McPhillips Street after reports of a commercial robbery. Investigators say a group of masked suspects — all believed to be minors — stole a cash register and threw a chair at an employee before fleeing. No injuries were reported.
According to police, the same group allegedly carried out at least six additional robberies that evening, targeting fast-food restaurants, retail stores, and a grocery store along McPhillips Street and Leila Avenue. Incidents included assaults on employees, property damage, and thefts totaling hundreds of dollars.
Officers located the seven suspects near Inkster Boulevard and McPhillips Street later that night. The accused — four boys and three girls aged 12 to 15 — face multiple charges, including Robbery, Mischief Under $5,000, and Disguise with Intent.
Six of the seven were detained in custody; one was released under conditions to appear in court at a later date.
Police urge anyone with further information to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS.
