Peterborough Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect after an early morning robbery at a business near Denure Drive and Sherbrooke Street.
Officers were called to the scene around 3:30am Sunday after a man entered the store, pulled a small knife, and took off with a tray of lottery tickets.
While officers later found the tray and some of the tickets nearby and returned them to the store, the suspect remains at large. A mask believed to have been worn during the robbery was also recovered. No injuries were reported.
The suspect is described as a white man, about 50 years old, 5-foot-6 with a medium build. He was wearing a black sweater with green tape on the chest, dark pants, a toque, a dust-style filter mask, and grey boots with green tape on the left toe.
Police have posted a video of the incident on their YouTube channel.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Peterborough Police at 705-876-1122 ext. 555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
