Portage La Prairie RCMP are asking the public for assistance in identifying suspects from a recent robbery incident that occurred at a business in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

Suspects

Suspects caught on video surveillance at a Portage la Prairie business.

On October 10, 2015, just after midnight, Portage la Prairie RCMP responded to a robbery at a business in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Police say that a group of five males entered the business and violently assaulted the security guard who tried to stop them. The suspects left with an undisclosed quantity of alcohol.

Video surveillance was obtained and provided images of the suspects. All five males are described as Aboriginal in appearance and drove away in a dark coloured van with an unknown license plate.

RCMP would like to remind business owners of the importance of maintaining and updating their video surveillance equipment. Quality images help to identify suspects, can aid in arrests and have a tremendous impact during court proceedings.

RCMP are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the Portage RCMP at 204-857-4445 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. You can also submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text TIPMAN plus your message to CRIMES(274637).
