Suspect in March Road robbery sought by Ottawa police
The Ottawa Police Service is asking the public for help in identifying a suspect in a robbery that happened last month on March Road.
Police say they received a call on Oct. 23, at around 9 p.m. alleging a man had entered a store located in the 800 block of March Road, brandished a knife, and asked the only employee inside for free items. The suspect then ran away, "possibly," on a black bike or a dirt bike when the employee gave him what he wanted, according to police.
No injuries were reported.
Police had also been seeking to speak to a woman they said was a witness. In an update Friday, police said she had been identified and is not part of the incident. Her photo, which was shared by police Thursday, has been removed from this article.
The suspect is described as light-skinned man with a slim build. He was seen wearing a black Under Armour sweater, black cargo pants and black and white Under Armour shoes, at the time the incident happened. He was also seen carrying a red Goodlife duffel bag.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call police at 613-236-1222, extension 5116, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
