File # 2022-5063

On July 30th, 2022 at approximately 2:03pm, Dawson Creek RCMP received a call from a male reporting he had been robbed within the previous hour.

The victim reported walking on 17th street between 108th avenue and 102nd avenue, when he was hit from behind in the head and knocked to the ground. Between two and three unknown individuals then kicked the victim while he lay on the ground, eventually running away with his backpack. The victim received non-life threatening; but significant, injuries to his head and forearms. 

Given this occurred on a busy roadway, Dawson Creek RCMP believe there are witnesses to the event, or someone that may have captured the incident on dash camera. Witnesses are encouraged to call the Dawson Creek RCMP at (250)784-3700.
