Robberies & Kidnapping – Arrests: C22-212620

Members of the Major Crimes Unit have charged a male and a female for three serious incidents involving robberies and a kidnapping.

On September 14, 2022, at 9:29 p.m., East District General Patrol units, with the assistance of AIR1, responded to a report of a stabbing at an apartment building in the 200 block of Edison Avenue.

Upon arrival, officers located an injured male (in his 50s). He was transported to a hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable condition.

It is believed the victim had gone to the building thinking he was attending a party with a previously known female. However, upon entering the suite, he was struck with a blunt object by an unknown male and robbed of his belongings before he was stabbed. The two (the known female & unknown male) then took his SUV and fled the area.

On September 15, 2022, at approximately 1:50 a.m., the suspects ran out of gas while driving the stolen vehicle on the Perimeter Highway near McPhillips Street. A male (in his 30s), who wasn’t aware the SUV had been stolen, picked up the pair and drove them to a nearby gas station to get fuel.

He then brought them back to the vehicle, but when the two couldn’t get the stolen SUV running, they turned their attention to the Good Samaritan and attempted to rob him at knifepoint. The victim was stabbed during the confrontation but managed to flee in his vehicle and sought treatment at a hospital.

On September 21, 2022, a third male victim (in his 30’s) met up with the female
(previously known to him) and the male (unknown to him). They ended up together in a hotel suite in the 200 block of Main Street. When the victim went to bed, he was threatened with a knife and forced outside to his car. Against his will, the victim was driven to Brandon, Manitoba. He escaped when they stopped at a gas station, and police were contacted.

RCMP members later located the two suspects in Moosomin, Saskatchewan, and took them into custody. They were turned over to the Winnipeg Police Service’s Major Crimes Unit, who continued the investigation.

Arnold Isaac Daniels, a 25-year-old male of Winnipeg, has been charged with:

- Robbery (x3)
- Kidnapping
- Forcible Confinement
- Aggravated Assault
- Possession of a Weapon (x3)

He was also processed on an outstanding arrest warrant for being unlawfully at large.

Maryanne Diana Candice Sawicki, a 27-year-old female of Winnipeg, has been charged with:

- Robbery (x3)
- Kidnapping
- Forcible Confinement
- Aggravated Assault

Both were detained.

The Winnipeg Police Service wishes to thank the Brandon Police Service and Moosomin RCMP for their help with the matter.
