Winnipeg police have reported that a woman posed as a police officer to rob a home in the St. Vital area. The incident, which occurred earlier this year, has led to an investigation by the police watchdog for potential misconduct involving members of the Toronto drug squad. The alleged suspect is shown in a police-supplied image from April 2.
Details of the Incident
The home invasion took place in St. Vital, a neighborhood in Winnipeg. The suspect allegedly impersonated a law enforcement officer to gain entry to the residence. Police have not released further details about the items stolen or the extent of the confrontation.
