STRONG ARM ROBBERY C09-290051

On December 27^th, 2009 at approximately 4:55 a.m., a 29 year old male was parked in his vehicle in the area of the 1200 block of Sherburn Street when he was approached by an unknown male.

The suspect male requested a cigarette and money. The 29 year old male advised that he did not smoke but offered him a small amount of change. It was at this time the suspect attempted to assault the victim to the upper body. The victim proceeded to open his car door, pushing the suspect backward.

The victim fled the area, leaving his vehicle behind. The suspect male, now in possession of a knife, including a second male suspect, began chasing the victim.

It is believed that the second male suspect was also in possession of a weapon at the time of the incident.

A third suspect, believed to be female, remained at the scene and was observed to enter the victim’s vehicle.

The suspects continued to pursue the victim in their own vehicles. The victim eventually gained refuge at a business in the area of 1400 block of Notre Dame Avenue, at which time police were summoned.

The suspects fled the area.
