A 28-year-old Winnipeg man has been arrested following an incident in which he allegedly invaded a home on Mountain Avenue dressed as a police officer.
When police responded to the scene on the afternoon of Jan. 4, officers say they found the suspect struggling with a 67-year-old man and threatening to kill the man’s family.
Investigators say the suspect forced his way into the home dressed as a police officer and demanded to see the victim’s young daughters.
The suspect allegedly held a large kitchen knife and threatened to kill the victim before he was placed under arrest, according to police.
Robert Junior Spence has been charged with break and enter, assault with a weapon and impersonating a peace officer, among other offences.
When officers searched his belongings, police say they found a clown mask and a possible weapon made from a chainsaw chain and bicycle parts as well as a club made from bicycle parts.
Police also believe the suspect was under the influence of meth while committing the alleged crimes.
