Ponoka RCMP investigate robbery
Central Alberta Mounties are looking for a suspect after a robbery in Ponoka last week.
On Dec. 15, 2023, at 3:32 a.m., Ponoka RCMP received a report of a robbery that occurred 30 minutes earlier on 48 avenue and 50 street in Ponoka.
Police say the victim had just finished shoveling a walkway and was taking a photo of his work when he was approached by an individual who accused the victim of taking a photo of him. After the victim explained his actions, the suspect allegedly showed the victim a firearm and demanded either the victim’s phone or his vehicle.
Mounties say the suspect then left with the victim’s phone but no assault took place.
