Winnipeg police are looking for a pair of suspects in an attempted dognapping in the Spence neighbourhood Thursday morning.
Police said a man in his 50s was taking his dog for a walk near McMicken Street and Sargent Avenue around 6 a.m. when two women approached and asked if they could pet the dog.
When the man said no, one of the women allegedly grabbed the leash and threatened the man with bear spray.
