Hamilton police have released images of a suspect who is wanted in connection with an armed robbery at a convenience store in the city.

Last Monday, officers were called to the Busy Bee Food Mart on Barton St. East shortly after 4 p.m. for reports of a robbery.

Police say a man had entered the store and flashed what is believed to be a gun at a store employee. The man made demands for cash but ended up running away from the store empty-handed.

Officers and members of the K-9 Unit searched the area but couldn’t locate the suspect. No one was injured during the robbery.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact Detective Constable Darryl Oosterhoff at 905-546-8936 or Staff Sgt. Emidio Evangelista at 905-546-2991.
