The Peterborough Police Service is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a group of men following a robbery a month ago.

On Sept. 1 around 12:45 a.m., police say the victim was at a George Street North bank where he withdrew cash then continued walking south. Prior to crossing the train tracks north of Townsend Street, the victim was approached from behind by two men.

Police say one of the suspects grabbed the victim’s arm.
