Durham Regional Police investigators say a would-be thief didn’t find any dollars during a dollar store break-in and left empty-handed after failing to get into the cash register.
It happened on Sunday, Oct. 8, at Your Dollarstore at 105 Bayly St. in Ajax.
Officers were called to the store at around 10 a.m. for reports of a break-and-enter.
“A male had broken into the store overnight and attempted to steal cash from the register,” a police release states.
“The male was unsuccessful and caused property damage in the process.”
The suspect is described as a white male, 40 to 50 years old, around five feet 10 inches tall with a medium build and a dark beard.
He was wearing a light-coloured Under Armour hoodie, black jeans, dark-coloured Adidas running shoes, and a baby blue coloured Puma backpack.
