Windsor police are looking for a suspect who allegedly robbed a convenience store and assaulted an employee.
It happened shortly after 9 p.m. Friday on Ouellette Avenue near Ellis Street West. Officers responded to a report of a robbery at that location.
According to Constable Talya Natyshak, the suspect had fled when police arrived, running northbound on Ouellette. Officers were told that the woman entered the store, brandished a knife at the employee, and ran with an undisclosed amount of money.
The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries while trying to run away from the suspect, Natyshak said.
Police have released several surveillance camera images of the suspect and have asked the public to take a look. The suspect is described as a White female, aged 25 to 39, 5' 7" and weighing 160 pounds. She had reddish-brown hair tied in a bun and was wearing a thick, dark-coloured wrap or headband. She was also wearing a grey shirt over a white sweater, dark pants, white Adidas shoes with black stripes, sunglasses, and a white facemask. She was also carrying a brown handbag.
The woman is considered armed and dangerous since the knife used has not been found. If you recognize her, do not approach her yourself and call 911 immediately.
