LOWER SACKVILLE: RCMP is investigating after a man was robbed at knife point Jan. 24, on a pathway behind Leslie Thomas Junior High School in Lower Sackville.
In a press release, Const. Dawn Duhart, acting media relations officer with Halifax District RCMP, said a 26-year old male was on the pathway behind the school when he was approached by two suspects, one of which was holding a can of bear spray while the other held a knife.
“The suspects proceeded to rob the victim of cash and jewellery,” Const. Duhart said. “The one holding the knife then cut the victim’s cheek with the knife.”
