LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is asking for the public’s help in an investigation into an alleged carjacking.

At approximately 4:50 p.m. on Friday, November 4, 2022, police responded to a 911 report that a 77-year-old woman had been assaulted and had her vehicle stolen.

The incident took place on the 600 block of 4 Avenue South at the Bank of Montreal parking lot.

According to LPS, the investigation determined that a senior had parked her Hyundai Santa Fe SUV and was making her way inside when a man grabbed her from behind, forcibly took her keys, and threw her to the ground.

The man allegedly stole the woman’s vehicle and left the area at a high rate of speed.
