Monday evening around 11:45 a.m., according to RCMP, a call was made to a business in Whitewood for the report of a robbery.

“Investigations showed that someone was parked outside the company. An adult male approached the victim, used bear spray on him and then physically forced him out of the vehicle. The suspect then stole the car and beat the victim with it as he fled. The victim, an adult male, was taken to the hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature,” a news release said.
