A 39-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl, both from the southwestern Manitoba city, were shot with a shotgun during a robbery at a business on Highland Avenue near First Street, adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway.
Police had already charged a 61-year-old man from Calgary with two counts of attempted murder, discharging a firearm with intent and obtaining sexual services for consideration.
On Saturday, police announced a 35-year-old man, a 32-year-old woman and a 29-year-old woman, all from Brandon, have also been arrested for their roles in the robbery.
All three face robbery with violence charges.
