Man threatens security with knife in armed robbery, police look for suspect

Police are looking to identify a man who robbed a store in North York last month while armed with a knife.

According to police, the suspect selected a variety of goods at the store near Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 10, and did not pay. When security attempted to arrest him, the suspect allegedly threatened store security with a knife and fled the scene on foot.

He is described as being approximately five feet to five-foot-five in height with a thin build, short brown hair and a beard. Police say that he was last seen wearing black pants, a black jacket, a light coloured hoodie, and a black and white hat with “Canada” written on it.

Images of the suspect have been released.
