Police seek suspect after senior pepper sprayed in North Vancouver park

February 5, 2023 11:46pm

Police are seeking public assistance in attempted robbery of an elderly person at a North Vancouver Park. The robbery was attempted at Victoria park on January 24 just after 1 pm.

The incident happened when an elderly woman planned to meet with someone from Facebook Marketplace to sell her phone.

They met at Victoria Park located at 150 E Keith Rd in North Vancouver. During the exchange, the suspect pepper sprayed the victim and tried to take her phone. The suspect was unsuccessful, and fled without the phone west from the park.

Officers immediately flooded the area in an effort to locate the suspect, but were unsuccessful. The victim in this case has recovered and did not incur any serious injuries. The suspect is described as Caucasian male 22-25 years old, clean shaven, approximately 160 lbs, and slim build.

He was wearing long yellow hooded rain jacket, had a black backpack, was wearing black pants and black sneakers with red and white coloring.

“If anyone is making an in-person transaction via Facebook Marketplace or other online services, the North Vancouver RCMP encourage them to make their exchanges at a safe zone outside the detachment located at 147 E 14th St., North Vancouver”, said Cst. Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP. “It’s a much safer place.”
