Red Deer RCMP are looking for public assistance to identify three men who robbed a man at gunpoint this morning as he walked to a bus stop.
RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery at approximately 5:10 a.m. on Jan. 16th at the intersection of 59th Ave. and 68th St.; as a 26-year-old man was walking toward the bus stop on 59th Ave., a black car driving northbound on 59th Ave. stopped and two of the three occupants pointed firearms at the victim, demanding his wallet.
