A Kimberley taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint Saturday night just before midnight in Marysville.
The driver received a call from a male who asked to be picked up near the swings at the Marysville Park (303 St and 308th Ave). The driver attended; a lone male produced a handgun and demanded money. Once the subject obtained the money he fled on foot.
Members from Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP converged on the area and conducted extensive patrols. A police dog also attended and obtained a track but was but was unable to locate the suspect.
