The robbery victim suffered a broken ankle and severe bruising in the incident.

She has since passed away.

91原创 RCMP鈥檚 Serious Crime Section took over the investigation and identified an individual who has now been charged.

A 37-year-old woman has been charged with one count of robbery in connection with the mugging of an 86-year-old 91原创 City woman.
