Police are seeking suspects connected with a mid-June robbery that saw a victim “thrown off” a car in Hamilton’s east end.

A spokesperson says the incident is believed to have involved a car full of teenage girls confronting a woman walking along Main Street East near Parkdale Avenue North just before 8:30 p.m June 13.

“A vehicle that had several female occupants abruptly stopped and demanded that the female turn over some personal items,” Const. Krista-Lee Ernst said.

“When that was refused, those females went out of the car and started assaulting the victim.”
