Windsor police seek help in identifying robbery suspect (VIDEO)

A suspect is being sought in connection with a robbery at a Windsor store earlier this month.

The incident happened on Sunday, October 16, at around 7:30 p.m., when a suspect was seen stealing items from a store in the Dougall Square area. When the woman was confronted by a loss prevention officer, the suspect threatened the employee with a scissors, then ran from the store. She was last seen walking north on Dougall Avenue.

The suspect is described as a White female, 30 to 35 years old, 5' 5", with a muscular build. She was wearing a black t-shirt, camouflage tights, a face mask, and a long, bright blue wig.

While fleeing from the scene, police said the suspect removed the wig and is described further as having medium-length brown hair.

Police have released the surveillance footage from the store because the woman has a distinctive walk. The public is asked to take a look.
