"A suspect fled on foot and there's a strong police presence in the area."

Reports from the scene indicate the robbery was at LocaLender Plus at 1137 Confederation St., but police have not confirmed that.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area of Confederation St. and Lansdowne Ave. while the investigation continues.
