Ontario Provincial Police are searching for a 24 year old Leamington man after a 37 year old Wheatley woman was robbed on Saturday.
Shortly before 8:00 pm, the victim was travelling on Talbot Street East in Leamington and saw the accused, who she knew, standing on the side of the road.
Thinking he was hitchhiking, she stopped her vehicle to offer him a ride.
When the woman did, the accused reached in and grabbed her wallet which was on the front seat of her vehicle.
A struggle ensued and the accused struck the victim in the face.
He was last seen leaving the area walking west on Talbot Street East with her wallet.
The victim was not seriously injured.
