Police in Lake Country received complaints of a group of youths throwing rocks at vehicles from the southbound side of the Pelmewash Parkway area between Winfield and Oyama late at night on May 11th. One incident was reported at 11:00 PM when a man sustained some chips in his window and car. At 11:30 PM another man reported that he had been hit through the driver side window of his vehicle which resulted in minor injuries to his head. When he pulled over to inspect the damage he was approached by two men with wrenches who robbed him of some cash before they took off on foot across the highway heading north. He described the men as in their late teens or early 20s, thin, wearing baseball caps and over-sized jeans. It is unknown if these two men were the rock throwers or if there are two different groups of suspects.
