The St Stephen RCMP is asking for the public's help identifying a person of interest in connection with an attempted robbery in St. Stephen, N.B.
On May 24, 2023, at approximately 8:45 p.m., members of the St. Stephen RCMP detachment responded to a report of an attempted robbery on King Street in St. Stephen. A woman had been walking her dog when she was approached by a man with an aluminum baseball bat who demanded money from the woman before fleeing the scene. The woman was uninjured.
