West Vancouver police are investigating a would-be armed mugging in Ambleside Park.
Police say a couple in their 20s were in the park around 11 p.m. Tuesday when two young men emerged from the bushes wearing black hoodies and black bandanas over their faces.
“The males presented what appeared to be a handgun and demanded all their stuff in some more vulgar terms,” said Const. Jeff Wood, West Vancouver police spokesman, adding that one of the suspects appeared nervous.
When a car approached, he shouted “car” and the two fled north.
Police found nothing in a search of the area. Police say the suspects are white, about 18 years old, with slim builds. It’s not known whether the gun was real. Anyone with info is asked to call West Van police.
