Suspects wanted in Portage la Prairie assault and robbery

RCMP are looking for a male and a female after they allegedly assaulted staff and robbed a Portage la Prairie beer vendor around 9:45 pm Wednesday November 4, 2020.

Police say the pair attempted to make a purchase but staff would not sell to them because they could not provide ID.

The pair left the building only to return a short time later, say police. The suspect jumped over the counter and assaulted on of the employees not only physically but they also sprayed him with bear spray.

The suspects then stole two 12-packs and fled the store.

Anyone who recognizes the pair from the surveillance images is asked to contact RCMP at 204-857-4445, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.

The investigation continues.
