Orangeville Police are seeking the public's assistance in finding three persons involved in a robbery that took place in the walkway between Goldgate Crescent and Sunset Drive, last Saturday about 2 a.m.

A 21-year-old man was approached by three masked men who robbed him of his backpack.

Prior to the incident, the victim had a conversation with two other unknown persons in the walkway and they may have witnessed the robbery.

One of the masked culprits is described as between five feet eight inches and six feet tall, 140 to 160 pounds. Because of the darkness, no further description could be provided.

Anyone with information about the incident are asked to call the OPS at 519-941- 2522 or crimestoppers at 1- 800-222-TIPS (8477).

Last Thursday, police were called to Westside Secondary School where two youths engaged in an unprovoked altercation outside the school.

The accused approached one youth and began to verbally and physically harass the victim. When his brother came to his defence he was punched in the mouth by an 18-year-old, falling and hitting his head on a concrete pillar.

In the altercation, he lost two front teeth and suffered cuts to his mouth.

Arrested and charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm is Aaron Patrick McNutt, 18, of Orangeville. He is scheduled to appear in court October 2.
