Police are looking for witnesses following a roadside robbery and assault in Brigus Junction yesterday afternoon.

The driver of a disabled vehicle on the westbound Brigus Junction exit of the TCH was trying to fix her vehicle around 3:00 when she was approached by two men who she did not know. They struck her, stole her purse, and fled.

The two have dark hair and may be in their twenties. One was dressed in a dark hoodie and jeans; the other was wearing dark-coloured sweatpants. They were driving a dark blue car, possibly a Honda Civic, last seen travelling westbound on the TCH.

The woman was treated at the scene for injuries not believed to be serious.

Holyrood RCMP are asking anybody who may have stopped or passed through the area between 2:30 and 3:30, and who have any dashcam footage, to contact either them or Crime Stoppers.
