Winnipeg police are asking for the public’s help in finding a suspect in an armed robbery at a St. Boniface home.
Police said the incident took place on the afternoon of May 20, when the female suspect convinced a 73-year-old woman to let her into her house.
The suspect then attacked the senior with a weapon, stole her purse, and drove away in her vehicle.
The victim was taken to hospital in stable condition and treated for upper-body injuries.
The suspect is described as a woman between 30 and 40 years old, 5’2″ and 100 lbs with a slim build. She had medium-length blonde hair and wore a grey tank top, dark-coloured jeans with rips in the knees, and a black shoulder bag.
Police are also looking for the victim’s vehicle, which is a beige 2005 Dodge Caravan with the licence plate AVU 951. The van may have dents on a passenger door and rust along the bottom.
