Officers said the victim cashed a cheque at a money exchange store.
When they exited the store, police said a male suspect approached the victim and allegedly sprayed an “unknown substance” in his face.
“The victim dropped the money and the suspect grabbed it before fleeing into a grey van, where a second suspect was waiting in the driver’s seat,” police alleged in a news release.
Officers are now appeaking for witnesses. Anyone with information or who may have dashcam footage in the area is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
