Robbery at currency exchange store in Newmarket mall thwarted by security glass
Canada March 8, 2022 Two suspects attempted to rob a currency exhange facility in Upper Canada Mall yesterday when they were stopped by security glass at the counter.
York Regional Police responded to the store at about 4 p.m. on March 3 for report of a robbery. They said two men had entered the store, assaulting a security guard, who was not seriously injured.
However, the suspects were not successful at getting past security glass at the counter and fled the scene without any money.
The suspects are both described as black males with medium builds. They were wearing dark clothing with hoods up.
YRP is once again reminding businesses that it’s important to maintain and update video surveillance systems as quality images help to identify suspects, can aid in arrest, and make a big difference in court proceedings.
