Mission RCMP on hunt for suspects who stole scooter from deaf man
Mission RCMP are on the hunt for two suspects who assaulted a deaf man and stole his scooter on Sunday.
"I think it was cruel and heartless [act]," said Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson.
Officers were called out to the corner of 2nd Avenue and Welton Street around 8 p.m.
They arrived to find a 29-year-old man had been assaulted by two men who then fled with his scooter.
"[The victim] got a punch in the face, but wasn't too injured and was treated by ambulance attendants on scene," said Dickson.
Two people who witnessed the event provided the police with the details.
The men were strangers to the victim, but likely knew he was hearing impaired, said Dickson.
"If they didn't know when they first approached him, they would have known by the time they were finished [robbing him]."
The two suspects are described as native males with slim builds, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall between the ages of 17 to 21 years old.
One man had black hair with frosted tips and was wearing a black and white hoodie and black pants.
The other suspect had black hair and dark-colored clothing.
"We're hoping somebody knows these men or hears them bragging about what they've done," said Dickson.
"We'd like to retrieve the scooter and press forward with charges."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
