On July 10, 2022, at 10:59 p.m., members of the Winnipeg Police Service met with a caller who had just reported a carjacking that had occurred to them earlier in the evening.

The male victim (in his 30s) stated he had parked in the area of Cumberland Avenue and Carlton Street around 7:45 p.m. when he was approached by a female who asked for a smoke.
