The Virginia Beach Hotel/Motel Association is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone having information leading to the capture and prosecution of the criminals who assaulted a Canadian tourist.
Richard Chabot, a Quebec resident who was on his honeymoon here, was pulled from his car July 19 at a Virginia Beach Boulevard traffic light by two men who cut his face and robbed him in front of his new bride.
The two men approached the car the tourist was driving shortly before 10 p.m. while he and his wife were stopped near the Central Library. One of the men yanked Chabot out of the car, and he was cut across the face.
Police said the robbers were described as black males of medium height who were from 20 to 30 years old. The larger of the two was about 175 pounds. After taking money from Chabot, they ran.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call 427-4101.
