Three teenagers aged between 14-17 years old allegedly took turns beating up the 17-year-old victim with a baton.
They then proceeded to rob him of his personal items including a wallet before leaving the scene. The victim was taken to the hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries.
Since the incident, police have arrested two of the three suspects, and are now seeking public assistance in finding the third individual.

He was also wearing a dark burgundy coloured baseball cap and back pack, and was last seen walking away near the McDonald’s on Langford Parkway.
“This is a disturbing crime. The victim was taken to the hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries,” said Cst. Nancy Saggar.
