OTTAWA – Police are looking for two men in connection to a swarming back in April.
Around 11 p.m. on April 24, a man was walking along McCarthy Road, near Plante Drive, when two men called out to him and asked if he had a phone they could use.
Police say the victim declined and the two men followed him, making a demand for his wallet.
The victim tried to flee, but was caught by the two men, assaulted and robbed of his phone and wallet. He did not suffer serious injuries.
The suspects were last seen running onto Yorkberry Gate, and were also captured on surveillance cameras at the South Keys transit station following the robbery.
