Chatham-Kent police are searching for a suspect after a robbery was thwarted by two women.

Police officials say a man entered a residence on Minnie St. in Wallaceburg, to try and steal a guitar.

A woman visiting the residence screamed at him and tried to grab the guitar, when she was pushed down and struck in the arm.

Her friend came to her aid, fighting off the suspect and pulling his sweater so he couldn't steal anything.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Chatham-Kent police or Crime Stoppers.
