The Ottawa Police Service Robbery Unit and Crime Stoppers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect responsible for a convenience store robbery.
On October 15, 2015, at approximately 7:55 pm, a lone male suspect entered a convenience store along the 1100 block of Wellington Avenue near Parkdale. The suspect, armed with a metal bar, made a demand for cash. When the suspect was unable to obtain any cash, he struck the victim with the bar and then fled the premises. Nothing was taken. The victim sustained a laceration that required stitches.
The suspect is described as a non-white male, with a light complexion, 30-35 years, approximately 6’0″ (183 cm) tall. He had a white cloth or similar over the lower part of his face, and at the time, wore a black down filled winter jacket with a fur lined hood, black pants and running shoes (image attached.)
Anyone with information with respect to this robbery, or any other robbery, is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Robbery Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.
