Two suspects to be identified from Beechwood Avenue retail robbery

(Ottawa) — The Ottawa Police Service Robbery Unit is investigating a recent retail robbery and is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the two suspects.

On August 24, 2015, at approximately 1:35 am, two males entered a convenience store situated along the 0-100 block of Beechwood Avenue. The first suspect remained at the door while the second one approached the store employee and made a demand for cash. He kept a hand in his pocket so as to suggest he was carrying a weapon. No weapon was seen.

The suspects are described as follows (see pictures):
