WINNIPEG – Police are still looking for suspects after a popular ice cream shop, full of customers, was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday night.

Winnipeg police say Sargent Sundae, at 2053 Portage Avenue in St. James, was robbed at around 9:45 p.m. by three men. A witness told Global News the robbers wore ski masks and carried guns. An employee told Global News the men were armed with a gun and a knife.

Sargent Sundae accepts cash only from customers; police wouldn’t say how much was stolen. The three suspects escaped. Police had only a vague description of two men with a medium build and one man with a thin build. But officers later provided a description of the robbers’ getaway vehicle: a 2003 Hyundai Elantra, Manitoba license plate FMJ 738. Anyone who sees it should not approach, just call 911.
