Just shortly after 1:30 am this morning two males entered the Mac’s Convenience Store located at 312 Wellington Street East and robbed the store. Both males brandished knives and made off with an undisclosed amount of money and some cigarettes. The clerk was not harmed in the incident. The suspects are described as follows:

Suspect number 1 is described as being 5’9”-5’10” tall, 200 lbs, late 30’s to early 40’s and brown eyes. He was wearing a light coloured jean jacket, light coloured baggy jeans-older style, black leather gloves, a black balaclava and dirty white sports shoes, similar to tennis shoes.

Suspect number 2 is described as being 6’-6’1” tall with a thin build. He was wearing a purple pullover hooded sweater with a design on the front that includes the colours red, yellow and blue. He was also wearing faded blue jeans that were an older style and loose fitting. He had on dark sports shoes.

Both males fled the store on foot and were last seen headed south on Bruce Street towards Queen Street East. Patrol officers responded to the area and officers from Investigation Services were called out for this robbery and are currently investigating it at this time.
