Police corralled three men following an armed robbery Thursday evening.
Just before midnight on July 23, Richmond RCMP received a 911 call from a distraught female calling from her home in the 3700 block of River Road.
Cpl. Jennifer Pound said it was initially thought that RCMP members were attending a domestic but upon scene attendance it was determined that we were dealing with a robbery type situation.
Police arrived on scene and noticed several men fleeing in different directions. Three of the men were quickly apprehended.
The female victim did not sustain any injuries. A male victim sustained minor injuries. They are not known to police.
“The RCMP acted quickly and diligently which has led to three men in custody,” Pound said.
“This was a collective effort between Richmond general duty members, bike section, Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, Air 1, Police Dog Service and Deas Island Highway Patrol.”
Police believe that items from the suspects may have been dropped in various areas while they were fleeing—such as clothing, weapons, etc.
The RCMP are asking the public, particularly the neighbouring areas of River Road, to call Richmond RCMP should they find something.
