COQUITLAM RCMP released a video on Thursday in an effort to find more witnesses and identify two suspects from a January 25 robbery and stabbing.
The initial incident happened just outside a mall in the 1100-block of Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, when two suspects used pepper spray to rob victim A of his two-wheeled hoverboard.

During the confrontation, victim B was stabbed and received serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.

We want to assure anyone who does not speak Englsih as a first language that we can provide a translator.”
