  • Alleged robbery involving 8 masked men

Mounties in Richmond are looking for witnesses to an alleged robbery in which the victim reported being attacked and robbed by as many as eight masked people.

Police say the man was leaving a plaza in the area of Number 3 Road and Williams Road, where he says he was hit in the head with a weapon and his backpack was stolen.

Two people allegedly ran back to the plaza, while the rest piled into a white vehicle.

Police say they found the victim's backpack, but they're asking anyone who may have seen a white Hyundai after 10:40 p-m on Saturday, June 1st, to come forward.
