Suspect sought in Windsor knifepoint robbery

Windsor police are hoping someone can help identify a man suspected in a convenience store robbery earlier this month.

Investigators say it happened at around 1 a.m. on August 9, at the business on Tecumseh Road East near Lincoln Road.

The man entered the store and chose a few items. When his debit card was declined, the suspect pulled a knife on the employee and ordered them to open the register.

He made off with cigarettes, an undisclosed amount of cash, and other items. No one was hurt.

The suspect is described as a White male, about 6’ tall, with facial hair. He was wearing a camouflage hoodie with a black jacket over top, blue jeans, white shoes, and sunglasses. He also carried a black backpack.

Surveillance camera images of the suspect have been released, and the public is asked to take a look.

Anyone with information should call Windsor police's Major Crimes Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4830. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
