Portage la Prairie RCMP were called to the robbery just before 8:30 p.m. Three suspects took off in a pick-up truck with several hundred dollars worth of merchandise.
The suspect vehicle was behind a building in the 2400 block of Saskatchewan Avenue West, but the people were gone. Two suspects were located in the 2200 block, while a third was found inside the building where the vehicle was parked. All three were arrested without incident.
