York Regional Police are on the hunt for three suspects following a robbery at Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre.
According to police, two suspects entered a cell phone store in the mall just before 9:30 p.m. on Thursday and “declared that the situation was an armed robbery.”
The suspects then forced the store’s employees to open a safe and proceeded to tie them up before fleeing with an unknown quantity of cell phones.
Investigators say one of the individuals indicated that he was armed, but no weapon was seen. The suspects then fled the scene in a white sedan, which police say was being driven by a third individual.
The first suspect is described as a white male who is five-foot-ten inches tall and in his 20s. He was last seen wearing a grey tracksuit, black shoes and a black balaclava.
The second suspect is described as a Black male who is six feet tall and believed to be in his 20s. He was last seen wearing a beige hoodie, black pants, grey shoes and a black mask.
Investigators do not have a description of the getaway driver and encourage anyone with information to contact police.
