Two Winnipeg teens have been charged after an arrest Wednesday near The Forks, police say.
Officers were called to Union Station on Main Street around 9 p.m. after receiving a report of an armed robbery taking place in front of the building.
A man in his 20s was robbed at gunpoint of cigarettes and money, police said, and assaulted by two suspects who fled on foot.
The duo was found nearby in a recreational area of The Forks Market and arrested without incident.
A 16-year-old boy is in custody facing charges of armed robbery using a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, prohibited device or ammunition, and failing to comply with conditions of a release order.
The second suspect, a 14-year-old girl, faces an armed robbery charge and was released on an appearance notice.
