Caledon OPP is seeking the assistance of the public after a robbery Sunday at a gas bar on McEwan Drive in Bolton.
Police said the incident took place shortly after 5 p.m.
The investigation has revealed that the male suspect involved in the robbery was dropped off out front of the gas bar in a white pick-up truck. The suspect then entered the store and told the attendant that his car had broken down and needed to charge his phone. The suspect then took the attendant’s car keys and revealed the glossy black handle of a handgun which was tucked into his waistband.
The suspect then fled the area in the stolen vehicle, a 2007 Silver Volkswagen Golf, four-door, with a loud muffler, and tinted windows. The Ontario licence plate is CAJP 743. The victim was not injured.
The suspect is described as a white male, 18 to 25 years old with a slim build, wearing a dark toque, red jacket and dark pants.
Investigators would like to speak to the owner of the white pick-up truck observed dropping the suspect off at the gas bar prior to the robbery.
Police are also asking anyone with information about this robbery to contact Detective Constable Russ Rogan of the Caledon Major Crime Unit, at 905-584-2241 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
