RCMP have arrested two adult males and a male teen in connection to a carjacking in Portage la Prairie on Saturday night, July16, 2022.

Police say an adult female was sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot of a Portage la Prairie business when a male wearing a balaclava opened her door, showed her a knife and ordered her out of the vehicle.
