Two Nova Scotians from Springhill have been charged after a woman was pushed to the ground and her vehicle was stolen in Sackville.
The New Brunswick RCMP said the theft happened on June 21 near a business on Main Street.
Mounties reported that the woman was trying to get into her vehicle when a man approached her, grabbed her keys, pushed her to the ground and drove away in her vehicle.
Police said she was taken to the hospital with what were believed to be minor injuries.
Members of the Southeast Community Crime Reduction Unit identified two suspects during the investigation, and the stolen vehicle was later recovered.
A 24‑year‑old man and a 45‑year‑old woman were arrested in Sackville on June 25 and remanded in custody.
Police said both appeared in court the following day and were charged with robbery.
The man and woman were released on July 2 pending future court dates.
