Sunshine Coast RCMP looking for suspects in attempted robbery

Sunshine Coast RCMP are looking for the public’s help tracking down two suspects who tried to rob an elderly man in Gibsons.
It happened around 10 at night on July 22nd in the 900 block of Gibsons Way.
The 76 year-old was walking alone when two young men came up to him and demanded he hand over his wallet.
He fought back, injuring the suspects, but also getting hurt himself.
The suspects are described as white men in their 20s of average height and build.  One had light brown hair and was wearing a red baseball cap and riding a bike.  The other was dark haired and wearing a dark sweater.
Sunshine Coast RCMP’s constable Harrison Mohr says, “Police never recommend getting in a fight with a stranger over personal property, but in this case these guys tried to rob the wrong senior, and this gentleman stood his ground. I’m sure the suspects were surprised.”
RCMP are hoping to hear from anyone with information.  605-885-2266
