Winnipeg police say a snowbank helped officers nab three men accused of stealing a 12-pack of beer from a Winnipeg beer vendor.
Police were called to the vendor in the 100 block of Marion Street around 6 p.m. Sunday.
Investigators say three suspects stole the beer at knifepoint before fleeing in a vehicle that had previously been reported stolen.
They say officers caught up with the suspects a short time later at the corner of Archibald Street and Mission Avenue, where they’d gotten stuck in a snowbank.
The suspects were extracted from the vehicle and arrested, police said Monday.
