Four teens have been charged after patrol officers broke up an armed robbery in west Winnipeg on Tuesday evening, during which an airgun was fired at a security guard, police say.

Officers patrolling in the Unicity area as part of a retail crime crackdown strategy were flagged down around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday and told about an armed robbery in progress inside the Walmart at 3655 Portage Ave., a police spokesperson said at a Wednesday afternoon news conference.

Officers rushed to the store and caught two teens, including one still armed with a gun, police said. Two more teens were arrested outside of the store.
