Police say two individuals broke into the coffee shop at 452 St. Clair Street, located just north of Oxley Street, on Jan. 30, between midnight and 1 a.m.
A safe was removed and brought to the door. A third individual appeared and helped remove the safe from the store.
The first suspect is described as male, with average height and average build. He was wearing a two-tone winter coat. The upper third of the coat is dark and has a dark hood, possibly black. The lower 2/3 portion of the coat is lighter in colour, possibly grey. He wore dark pants and shoes, a purple hoodie, and a ball cap.
The second suspect is described as a male with a shorter stalky build than average, wearing a light grey or blue coat with blue jeans and white running shoes (skateboarder shoes- possibly DC or Vans. Black symbol on the outer side). This suspect also wore a ball cap, a light blue physician mask and gloves.
The third suspect wore a dark coat with a fur hood and black face mask.
