Richmond RCMP is hoping the public can help them identify two male suspects who allegedly robbed and assaulted a man just before noon on Wednesday.
Police say the incident took place in an abandoned house in the 12000-block of Blundell Road. The victim told police he was lured to the home by the suspects who told him they needed help. Once they were inside, the victim says the two man assaulted and robbed him. He suffered minor injuries.
The suspects then fled in a older model grey, Ford pick-up truck with trees hanging out of the back.
The victim called RCMP immediately, who found the vehicle a short distance away, on Williams Road at No. 4 Road.
As soon as the constable spotted the vehicle, he said it crossed over into oncoming traffic, and then took off northbound on No. 4 Road, driving at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle then turned eastbound from No. 4 Road onto Francis Road where it stopped. Police say one suspect was seen exiting the driver’s side of the vehicle and fled on foot, jumping over fences.
The two suspects remain at large and it’s believed the second suspect sped away in the truck.
They are described as:
- Toronto Pearson gold heist: Ontario man arrested at airport after arriving from India
- Man charged in surfer deaths told girlfriend he killed ‘3 gringos,’ court hears
- ‘I believe they’re looking for me’: Man arrested after triple stabbing in Mississauga, Ont.
- Drone used to smuggle $250,000 worth of contraband into N.B. prison, police say
Suspect 1: Caucasian man, approximately 45 to 50 years old, around 5’10 with a medium build. He had black hair and was wearing a black hoodie with it pulled up.
Suspect 2: Caucasian man, approximately 45 to 50 years old, around 5’10 with a slim build. He had a shaved head and was wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
