Police are looking for three suspects after a carjacking outside a Winnipeg church Sunday night.

Officers were called to the 500 block of William Avenue around 9:15 p.m., where they found a 34-year-old victim, who said she had been robbed by three suspects, one of whom was armed.

The suspects forced her out of her vehicle, stole personal property and demanded her keys before driving off, police say. She wasn’t injured in the incident.

Police are looking for two men and a woman in connection with the incident.

The woman is described as five feet five inches tall with a thin build and a small tattoo near her right eye. She was wearing a red hoodie, grey jacket and grey pants at the time of the carjacking.

Police are encouraging Winnipeggers to be aware of their surroundings wherever they are.

“You’re not really going to see somebody approaching you if you have headphones on and you’re looking down at your phone,” said Const. Steve Spencer.

“Just be aware. If you see something — rather than pulling your phone out and trying to get that next TikTok hit — phone 911 or look at a description of somebody so you can provide good information to police.”

Major crimes investigators have taken over the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
