It appears that the victim, a 19 year old Pembroke man, was riding an auxiliary cycle west on St. John’s Road when he was approached by an unknown man on a motorcycle who rode up alongside him. The suspect demanded money from the Pembroke man and managed to bring the victim’s cycle to a stop. The suspect then brandished a bladed article and removed a black wallet, a gold chain and two gold rings from the 19 year old Pembroke man before making good his escape. The victim was not injured. The suspect was described as a yellow skinned male with facial hair of muscular build believed to be in his 30s; he was wearing a grey hooded top, dark coloured jeans and a black helmet with a mirrored visor. The suspect was also riding an old rusty dark coloured motorcycle. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
