LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge Police have charged a 26-year-old woman and 25-year-old man in connection with robbery and assault on Tuesday, July 18, at a local grocery store that was shared on social media.

According to police, shortly after 11:00 a.m. the woman entered London Road Market and took several items including a glass bottle of pop.

She then left the store without paying. A staff member confronted her, along with the man who she met up with outside and allegedly asked her to return the stolen items.

The man then began punching the employee and a physical altercation then ensued.

As the employee struggled with the man on the ground, the woman allegedly smashed the glass bottle and used the broken end as a weapon.
