Sun, 2005-10-16
At 9:05pm on Sunday, Police attended a reported attempted robbery on Fairyland Road in Pembroke. On arrival officers spoke with the victim, a 29 year old Pembroke woman, who stated that she was riding her motorcycle along Serpentine Road when she noticed someone on a motorcycle riding behind her. She continued riding towards Fairylands; however when she was in the area of Fairyland Lane, the man on the cycle behind her rode alongside and attempted to pull her off her cycle, demanding money. The Pembroke woman told the man she did not have any money. At this point, a car exiting Fairylands with two female occupants scared off the suspect. The suspect is described as a brown skinned male of slim build, approximately 5'8" tall with a neatly trimmed full beard. He was wearing a navy blue tracksuit top with white stripes, dark blue jeans and a black helmet with a black & silver tinted visor. He was also riding a black scooter type cycle and is believed to be in his 40s. The suspect fled the scene empty handed and the victim was uninjured. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident or anyone with any information to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.
