The Peterborough Police Service is investigating after a robbery involving a large group of youth on two victims in an incident Friday night in Peterborough.
At roughly 9:15 p.m., officers were called to the River Road South and Lansdowne Street East area. They learned that two people were approached by 15 to 20 young people. The latter asked to have a vape but when refused, a verbal argument ensued and one youth showed the victims a knife in a bag. The group fled towards Beavermead Park and one of the victims noticed their cell phone was gone.
