“The victim was driving a 2022 black Toyota RAV4, delivering food to a residence,” Const. Maniva Armstrong said in a statement released Monday.

The victim exited his vehicle and was met by one male in the driveway, she said, explaining three other males approached the victim from behind and “violently attacked him.”

All four males assaulted the victim, took his keys, his personal belongings and his vehicle, then fled the scene before police arrived.

“Investigators are appealing to any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police to come forward,” Armstrong said. “Officers would also like to speak with anyone who may have video surveillance or dashcam footage of the incident.”

“This investigation is ongoing,” she added.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Holdup Unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6631, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
