Ottawa police seek help identifying knifepoint robbery suspect
Ottawa police are asking for the public's help identifying a man accused of robbing two cashiers late last week.
In a release, police said a lone man walked into a business on Bank Street near Gladstone Avenue at around 2 a.m. last Saturday, and allegedly threatened the cashier with a knife.
Police allege the same man threatened a cashier with a knife at a business on Wellington Street West near Parkdale Avenue at around 9:45 a.m. that same day.
In each case, the suspect left with cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets. No one was hurt in either incident.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, who is approximately 5-foot-10 (178cm). He was wearing glasses and had a moustache. He was last seen wearing a black zip-up hoodie, a red tuque, a black bandana covering his face, and black pants.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Robbery Unit at 613-236-1222 ext. 5116.
