Three people, including a 15-year-old boy, were arrested in Winnipeg after a carjacking in Portage la Prairie.
On July 16, at around 9:15 p.m., a 48-year-old woman was sitting in her car in the parking lot of a Saskatchewan Avenue East business when three males approached it. One suspect with a balaclava and a knive told her to get out and all three got in and left.
