On September 11, 2016, at approximately 8:45 am, in the area of McGee Street and Elrick Crescent, a local 72 year old cab driver was robbed by a fare he had originally picked up in the area of London Road and Fleming Street in the City of Sarnia. The suspect was described as being 5 feet tall. 150 lbs, in his 20’s and collar-length black hair.
The suspect initially asked for any money the driver had and when the driver told him he had no money the suspect struck the driver in the face. When the driver attempted to call for help using his microphone the suspect ripped the microphone from the radio. After a physical exchange the suspect ran from the area with a cup of change that the cab driver had in the vehicle.
The Sarnia Police Service Criminal Investigation Branch has been able to recover photos from surveillance cameras that have pictures of the suspect. These photos are attached below.
