RED DEER, Alta. – RCMP in central Alberta are looking for a suspect who took a taxi to a home invasion and asked the driver to wait for him.
Red Deer Mounties say a man took a cab on Saturday night to a mobile home and knocked on the door.
When a resident opened the door, the man punched him several times before stealing cash, a cellphone and some cigarettes.
He then returned to the taxi which dropped him off downtown.
A police search of the area did not locate the suspect.
No word on whether the meter was running the whole time.
