The victim’s stolen vehicle, a green 2014 Subaru Forester with Manitoba licence plate FCM 461, remains missing.

It is believed that on September 21, 2022, at approximately 3:45 p.m., the victim had returned to her parked SUV in the area of Tache Avenue and Horace Street when a man confronted her, police say.
