On October 19, 2022, at 9:54 p.m., members of the Winnipeg Police Service – including Central District General Patrol officers, the Tactical Support Team and AIR1 – responded to the 300 block of Waterfront Drive for a report of a home invasion to an apartment suite. A male had broken into a residence, and the sounds of an assault were heard.

Upon arrival, officers located two female victims (both in their 20s) with injuries, but they declined medical attention.

AIR1 subsequently tracked four suspects to the area of Rupert Avenue and Lily Street area where they were taken into custody by a Central District General Patrol supervisor and members of the Tactical Support Team.
