Shortly after 2am on April 3, 2011, officers from the Dauphin Municipal RCMP detachment responded to a report of a robbery.

A group of people were walking along 1st Avenue N.E. when they were approached by 3 males. The males demanded the people give them their money and in doing so, knocked one of the people to the ground. The males then grabbed some beer the victim had been carrying and fled the scene.

Approximately 2 hours after receiving the complaint, investigators arrested a 19-year-old Winnipegosis man. Jimmy Alexander Halfe has been charged with robbery and is to appear in Dauphin Court.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Dauphin RCMP or Manitoba Crime Stoppers.

The investigation continues.
