The Coquitlam RCMP is releasing video of two suspects they believe were involved in a stabbing and robbery in the City Centre neighbourhood in January.
According to police, an initial incident occurred in the 1100-block of Pinetree Way, when the pair used pepper spray to rob a person of his two-wheeled hoverboard.
When a second victim intervened and chased the suspects to the corner of Westwood Street and Glen Drive, the person was stabbed and received serious injuries.
Mounties are hoping that by releasing the video more witnesses will come forward to assist them with the investigation.
"There were many people near the area of the robbery and stabbing, but we've only spoken to a few witnesses," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. "If there are other witnesses, we would like to speak with them. We want to assure anyone who does not speak English as a first language that we can provide a translator."
The first suspect is described as a male in his mid to late teens with a medium height and slim build. At the time of the incident he was wearing skinny jeans, a dark hoodie, a dark long-sleeved jacket with three white stripes down the sleeves and dark shoes.
The second suspect is a Caucasian male in his mid to late teens with a slim build and medium height. He was wearing a dark jacket with maroon sleeves and a hood and black sneakers with green laces.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2018-2723.
