Barrie Police is trying to identify a male suspect who is believed to be responsible for three robbery occurrences that have taken place in the city of Barrie since January 17th.
In that occurrence, a lone male entered a variety store located in a plaza at Duckworth St. and Grove St. East in the City of Barrie.
He was armed with two-edged weapons, made a demand for cash, and fled on foot. A canine track was conducted, but the suspect was able to elude capture.
