Red Deer RCMP are seeking three men who fired gunshots in the air when they robbed a man early Monday morning.
Police said in a statement that as a 26-year-old man was walking toward a bus stop on 59th Avenue, a black car headed northbound on 59th Avenue stopped and two of the three occupants pointed firearms at the victim, demanding his wallet.
As the victim walked away after handing over his wallet, two of the men holding guns fired several shots into the air. The victim was not injured.
