3 charged in Stella Avenue home invasion, Winnipeg police say

Three Winnipeggers have been arrested in connection with a Wednesday morning armed robbery that police believe was a home invasion.

Police were called to a Stella Avenue home just after 7:30 a.m., where they arrested three suspects and seized an imitation firearm.

Two women — Mary Frances Chartrand, 38, and 31-year-old Nikki Anne Cook — face a number of charges, including armed robbery using a firearm, use of an imitation firearm during the commission of an indictable offence and assault with a weapon.

Both Chartrand and Cook were detained in custody, while the third suspect, a 27-year-old man, faces similar charges but was released on an undertaking.
