Police investigates second robbery in three days in Gravenhurst

The OPP is investigating two robberies that happened earlier this week in Gravenhurst.

The OPP says on Sept. 10, at 10:40 p.m., officers were dispatched to a report of a robbery that occurred at a Service Centre on HWY 11 North, just south of HWY 118.  

Police say a man came behind the counter and demanded cash, then fled on foot empty-handed. The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5’9″ tall, wearing a grey hoodie, white mask, and black bandana.

The OPP says on Sept. 12, at 11:35 p.m., officers responded to a 9-1-1 call from an employee reporting a robbery at a service centre on HWY 11, south of Gravenhurst.

Police say a man entered the store and demanded money, and although the victim did not see a weapon, they believed one was present.

The OPP says the suspect left the store with some cash and “potentially got into a white pick-up truck and left travelling north on Highway 11 North.”

The suspect is described as a male wearing a grey hoodie, black pants, white shoes, grey gloves, and a white face mask. He was carrying a black Coors Light cooler-style backpack.
