LANGLEY – Langley RCMP are hunting for a man suspected in five robberies
that occurred between 2:30 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. Thursday. Police said that
in the first robbery, the suspect flagged down a private vehicle,
pointed a knife at the driver and demanded money. He fled with a small
amount of cash. The suspect later robbed four cab drivers. In each case,
he held up the cab driver at knifepoint, then ran away.

Police said no one was injured in any of the incidents. Four of the
robberies occurred in the area of 54 Avenue and 204 Street, while the
last incident occurred at 89 Avenue and 208 Street.

The suspect was described as a Caucasian man aged 20-22, about 172 cm
(5-foot-8) tall, with short brown hair and a clean-shaven face. Police
said he may have changed his clothing between the robberies, sometimes
wearing a ball cap and sometimes a hood.

Anyone with information is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
