Langley RCMP are hoping someone can identify two suspects accused of showing a gun to steal a cellphone and some fireworks from two young men in Willoughby on Nov. 2.
Around 5:30 p.m. that day, police were called to speak to two young men who had been walking along a path near 93 Avenue, between 204 and 200 Streets. They said they had been approached by two men, possibly Hispanic, who accused them of shooting firecrackers at their house. One of the two men produced a firearm and demanded they turn over their cellphones.
One cellphone and the firecrackers the boys had remaining in their possession were turned over to the suspects who then took off running.
The first suspect shown produced the firearm, said police. (The two composites side by side were created by each of the two robbery victims). He is described as between 18 to 23 years of age, shorter, between 5'4"-5'5" tall, short black hair, tanned skin, slender, crooked teeth and no facial hair. The second suspect is thought to be the same age but taller, up to six feet tall, with short black hair, darker skin tone, no facial hair and an artwork tattoo on his bicep.
