A Regina woman is still nursing her injuries after a violent robbery in the east Superstore store parking lot earlier this week.

Twenty-three year old Lindsey Foti was attacked in broad daylight late Tuesday afternoon, resulting in a face full of bruises, a fractured cheekbone and three broken ribs.

Foti was carrying her groceries to her vehicle when she noticed a white van parked next to her car. As she was loading her bags into the trunk, a man approached her and asked her if she had any spare change.

"I said, ‘No, I don't' and he goes, ‘Of course you have change; you're a white girl – look at this nice car you're driving' and was just yelling at me and then smashed my head on the trunk," she said.

The hit knocked her to the ground between her car and the van.

"Then three other guys come out from the van and just start going to town. There was one guy just kicking me in the ribs and two guys just pounding on my face."

Foti says she couldn't do anything but cover her face and wait for the beating to stop.

"There's really no chance that anyone is going to find me and I didn't want to scream because I just thought I have no idea what's in the back of the van. I have no idea if they have tools, a knife, I have no idea."

Finally, the attack stopped and the men sped away in the van with her wallet containing seven dollars and $25 worth of groceries. Police are now on the hunt for suspects.

Loblaws, the company that owns Superstore, would not comment about what, if any, security they have for their customers in their parking lot, but said they are cooperating fully with the Regina Police Service investigation.

Despite being threatened, Foti reported the attack to police. She says she wants all women to take extra care when they are alone, no matter where they are.
