The Mac's Convenience store near Craigleith was the target of an attempted robbery early this morning.
Shortly after 1:00 a.m., OPP officers from the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains detachment responded to a call to the Mac’s store on Highway 26 near Grey Road 19.
They were informed that a suspect dressed in black with his face covered had entered the store brandishing a knife. He demanded money, but the employee was unable to access the cash register, and the suspect fled the scene. The employee was not hurt.
An OPP Emergency Response Team and a Canine Unit were brought in to search the area, but the suspect was not found.
The suspect is described as about five-foot five, with a slight build with some hair growth around the neck area.
He was wearing a black nylon insulated jacket, black hoodie, a black ski mask covering his face, black gloves, black pants and black shoes, and carrying a back pack.
