Penticton RCMP are looking for two men after a woman tussled with one of them following a robbery on Monday afternoon.
Police received multiple calls about a woman screaming on Kinney Avenue while she appeared to be fighting with a man.
Media officer Sgt. Jason Bayda said the woman had interrupted two males who were in the midst of committing a theft of a licence plate.
“When she attempted to film them with her cell phone, one of the males grabbed her phone. The woman fought to retain her phone and did not let go even after the male jumped into the passenger side of a vehicle to flee, dragging her for nearly two blocks before being pushed out,” Bayda said.
The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Police are searching for two men and a white four-door SUV, possibly a Cadillac with tinted side windows and a missing or smashed rear window.
One suspect is described as follows: White male, less than six feet tall and slim wearing all black and a hat with a hoodie style jacket. The other suspect is a white male, slim with short hair that was dyed dirty blonde, wearing a black hoodie, black shoes, black hat and sunglasses.
If you have any information you are asked to call the Penticton RCMP at 250-492-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
