Armed robbery, Riverview, N.B.

2009/5/4

On May 4, 2009, at around 2:39 AM, Codiac Regional RCMP members received a report of an armed robbery on Gunningsville Blvd in Riverview.

A taxi driver indicated that he had been robbed by a man he had picked up as a customer. The suspect grabbed the money from the driver and when the driver resisted, the suspect slashed him with a knife.

Fortunately the driver was not injured by the knife but he did however sustain a dislocated shoulder during his struggle with the culprit.

The suspect fled on foot and could not be located despite the efforts of the RCMP dog team. He is described as a white male, 5’9” to 6’ tall, medium build and long dark hair. He spoke English without an accent. At the time of the offense he wore a blue jacket and a blue bandana.

The investigation is ongoing.
