Police in Red Deer, Alta., are looking for suspects after a pedestrian was robbed at gunpoint on Monday morning.
It happened in the intersection of 59 Avenue and 68 Street at around 5:10 a.m.
Red Deer RCMP said the victim, a 26-year-old man, was walking to a bus stop when a black car stopped near him and two of the three people inside got out.
The two suspects allegedly pointed firearms at the victim, demanding his wallet. He complied, but RCMP said as he walked away the suspects “fired several shots into the air.”
The victim wasn’t injured.
