Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Feb, 2015 01:25 PM
    RED DEER, Alta. — RCMP in central Alberta are looking for a suspect who took a taxi to a home invasion and asked the driver to wait for him.
     
    Red Deer Mounties say a man took a cab on Saturday night to a mobile home and knocked on the door.
     
    When a resident opened the door, the man punched him several times before stealing cash, a cellphone and some cigarettes.
     
    He then returned to the taxi which dropped him off downtown.
     
    A police search of the area did not locate the suspect.
     
    No word on whether the meter was running the whole time.
