WINDSOR -- Suspects are being sought by police, including a woman wielding a “kitchen style” knife, after a pair of knife point robberies in Windsor.
The Windsor Police Service reports on Dec. 17, a man stuffed a shopping cart with a number of items inside a department store in the 4100 block of Walker Road.
Police report the man was joined by a woman and the pair exited the store at about 6:15 p.m. without even attempting to pay for any of the merchandise.
That’s when a store employee confronted the pair and the female suspect waved a knife in an “aggressive manner” say police, allowing the pair to get away.
The armed suspect is described as a white female, about 25 to 30 years old. She was wearing a black zippered coat, black high boots, black pants, grey hooded sweater and a grey/beige toque.
The other suspect is described as a white male, approximately 25 to 30 years old. He was wearing black pants, black coat, white shirt, a blue toque and white Nike shoes.
A similar incident played out the very next day.
On Dec. 18, two suspects, a man and a woman, walked into a department store in the 7200 block of Tecumseh Road East around 9:00 p.m.
Both suspects loaded up shopping baskets with merchandise and headed for the exits without paying.
An employee approached the pair when a female suspect again “brandished a knife in an aggressive manner” report Windsor police.
The suspects were seen fleeing the area in a silver Pontiac Sunfire with stolen licence plates.
