LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police have charged a man and woman in connection with an assault and robbery on Monday, Mar. 11.

Police responded to a report of an injured man at a liquor store along the 700 block of 23 Street North at 10:30 p.m. on Monday, and upon arrival, they found the store in disarray and a 19-year-old male employee with significant head injuries.

An investigation determined two men and a woman had entered the store and were asked to leave after the employee recognized them as previously being banned for attempting to steal liquor.

The subjects refused, and a physical altercation followed where the employee was struck in the head with bottles and punched until he fell to the ground.

The three of them then fled the scene with an undisclosed quantity of liquor before police arrival.
