Wal-Mart employee threatened during robbery

Strathroy-Caradoc police are trying to track down a suspect after an employee was threatened with a weapon during a robbery at the local Wal-Mart.

Officers were called to the store at 150 Carroll St. E around 6 p.m. on Sunday.

According to police, a man threatened a store employee with an unspecified weapon before taking off with over $2,000 worth of merchandise. All of the stolen goods were later found by police. It is believed the suspect dropped the items while making his getaway.

While inside Wal-mart he was wearing a leather jacket and grey ball cap, which he no longer had on when spotted inside the second business.
