New Westminster Police Department officers are asking for additional witnesses to come forward following the assault and robbery of a man on Monday near the intersection of Blackie Street and Carnarvon Street.

The victim was walking towards the New Westminster SkyTrain Station at approximately 9:00 am when he was punched in the stomach and knocked to the ground by two men he didn’t know. One of the suspects robbed him of his headphones before both suspects fled the area.

“At this time officers are canvassing the area for CCTV footage of the suspects,” stated Sergeant Leaver. “This is a high traffic area with the mall and nearby transit centre. We’re hopefull that someone in the area witnessed the robbery and is willing to provide this information to investigators.”
