A bizarre encounter in South 91原创 ended with a newspaper delivery driver being pepper sprayed, and 91原创 RCMP are looking for the culprit.

The delivery driver was on his route just before 3 a.m. on Feb. 5, around 256th Street and 3rd Avenue, when he spotted what he described as a sports car driving erratically, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the 91原创 RCMP.

The deliver driver briefly followed the sports car, then stopped to make a delivery, Largy said.

While he was stopped, the sports car returned, its driver got out, and sprayed the victim with pepper spray. He then smashed the victim鈥檚 driver鈥檚 side window with an unknown object.

The sports car driver fled north on 256th Street.

The victim was not seriously injured in the strange attack.

Thefts

Police are also looking for two other suspects, both of whom were caught on camera in recent incidents.

A man who allegedly stole mail from community mailboxes in a 91原创 City condo on Jan. 27 is described as Caucasian, about 50 to 60 years old, with a slim build, standing 5鈥8鈥 tall, with blue eyes. He was wearing a black hoodie, a blue medical mask and jeans, and carrying a backpack.

Police are also looking for a woman who allegedly stole a purse from an employee locker at the 91原创 Costco on Jan. 30.

The woman in the image bears some resemblance to a suspect in another recent investigation, including wearing a pink mask that did not cover her nose.
