Thugs rob delivery driver at gunpoint

One adult and two youths are facing armed robbery charges after they allegedly robbed a food delivery driver at gunpoint in a Transcona neighbourhood.

Police say that around 3:40 am on Monday, January 14, 2019, the victim went to a home in the 500 block of Yale Avenue West. Two females and a male were sitting on the steps of the home at the time. When the driver handed over the food one of the three pulled out a handgun and threatened to shoot the 39-year-old male driver as they refused to pay for the food.

Police were able to track the suspects using a K-9 unit. Two blocks away on Ravelston Avenue the dog led officers to a home. The suspects were located and a search of the home uncovered ammunition, bullet casings, 5 magazines of which one was loaded, an air pistol, sword, scope, SKS semi-automatic rifle, Crossman air rifle and a Ruger bolt action rifle.
