ROBBERY
On Sept. 22 at 4 a.m. the North Bay Police Service received a complaint of a robbery. This robbery occurred at Mac’s Convenience Store in the 1100 block of Cassells Street. It is alleged that a lone male walked into the store brandishing a knife. He covered his face with a white piece of cloth and demanded money from the lone male clerk. The money was placed in a white plastic grocery type bag with some red on it. The robber then left the store, running down Seventh Avenue.

The male is described as: male white, 30 to 40 years old, 5’9 to 6’ tall, husky build, with a greying moustache.

BREAK AND ENTER
Overnight Sept. 20 the North Bay Police Service received a complaint of thieves jumping a security fence at the Empire Living construction site on McIntyre Street. Once inside, they stole a cordless Craftsman drill. This drill was black in colour.

On Sept. 19 at approximately 10 p.m., the North Bay Police Service received a complaint of a break and enter into a garage in the 700 block of Glen Road, in Callander. A mid size grey car was seen parked across the street with a person in it. Two other people with flashlights entered this garage. They stole a 2’ by 18” red Mastercraft tool chest filled with small hand tools and a blue Mastercraft skilsaw. A reciprocating saw was recovered from the side of the road, apparently dropped when neighbours frightened the thieves off.

The vehicle might possibly have had a cowboy hat in the rear window.

Anyone with information on this crime or any other are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 476-8477.
