Two men were woken up and robbed at gunpoint in their motel room on Sunday morning, according to Winnipeg police.
Police say a woman knocked at their door in the 3300 block of Portage Avenue and was let into the room. Officials say three other suspects, including two men armed with a firearm and two machetes, entered the room as well.
Police say the suspects pointed the firearm at the victims and stole property from the room and assaulted both victims, causing minor injuries.
The group left the room in a stolen vehicle and stole gas from a gas station in the 1000 block of Keewatin Street.
An hour after police were called they found the vehicle in the area of Aikins Street and Burrows Avenue. Two women were arrested there. Two male suspects tried to run away but were caught.
