The OPP has released photos of a suspect in connection with the attempted robbery of a pharmacy in Coldwater.
Police say a man walked into the pharmacy yesterday afternoon, walked directly behind the counter and threatened staff with what appeared to be bear spray, before fleeing the scene in a silver sedan, which headed southbound on River Street.
The man is described as white, 20-25 years old, who was wearing a blue winter coat with a hood and dark red running shoes and work gloves.
The vehicle is described as a Silver Acura, four-door, with alloy wheels and a black frame around the license plate. The vehicle is also missing the driver’s side rear door handle. It was also reported that there were as many as three others waiting in the vehicle while the suspect was in the pharmacy.
If you have seen this suspect or vehicle or have any information, you are urged to call the Orillia OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
