Can you identify these suspects?
Chatham-Kent police are looking for two suspects who allegedly broke into a gas station in Dresden and took off with an empty cash register.
Police said they were called to the scene just before 3 a.m. Thursday after an alarm went off at the business on St. George Street.
When officers arrived, they allegedly found that the front door of the business had been smashed.
The suspects took off with a cash register, but police said it was empty.
Officers described the first suspect as a white man with facial hair -- he was last seen wearing a black Helly Hanson jacket, khaki pants, and white shoes.
The second suspect is described as wearing a black coat with a brimmed black and purple hat, white gloves, grey pants, and black shoes.
Both of the suspects were seen leaving in a dark coloured vehicle and police provided two surveillance camera pictures, which you can see below.

Thieves cause $15K oil spill, steal parts from old transformers
Chatham-Kent police are looking for tips from the public after some alleged thieves broke into a fenced compound at a business in Chatham and caused quite a mess.
Police said the break-in took place at a business on Queen Street sometime between 4:30 a.m. Tuesday and 4:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Officers said whoever broke in also dismantled several transformers that were slated to be recycled and removed the inner components while also tipping out all of the oil.
Whoever made that mess also took off with some copper bars that were inside a transformer.
The total value of the theft was estimated at $3,000, but that's only a fraction of the cost of the environmental cleanup caused by the oil spill.
The cleanup costs were estimated at $15,000.
