On Sunday, September 28, 2025, shortly 3:30 am, officers with the Hawkesbury Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a convenience store and gas station on John Street. A lone male had approached the employee outside the store, threatened him and demanded cash.

The employee yelled for help and the would-be thief fled on foot.

Officers conducted an intensive search of the area but could not locate the male.

The individual is described as a large man. He was wearing a blue jacket, black ball cap, camo pants and white running shoes. The male’s face was covered with a neck warmer. A photo is attached.
