Russell County Ontario Provincial Police are investigating thefts at a hardware store and grocery store in Embrun and are requesting the public’s help in identifying the two suspected thieves.<\/p>\n
Around 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, a male and female attended the Embrun hardware store and are suspected of stealing a $1,000 Makita saw.<\/p>\n
Both individuals entered the store and browsed the merchandise. The male left and the female grabbed a box containing the saw and left the store without attempting to pay.<\/p>\n
Six days later, on July 26, around 3:35 p.m., a female matching the description of the hardware store suspect entered an Embrun grocery store, filled a beige bag with meat products and left without paying. A loss prevention officer attempted to stop her. As she punched and kicked the loss prevention officer, an unknown male intervened and the two suspects escaped, according to police.<\/p>\n
Police have provided a description of the two suspects seen to be driving a newer model black four door Chevrolet Malibu, adding that they believe the two individuals are also involved in similar incidents in North Grenville and Pembroke.<\/p>\n
The male from the hardware store is described as white with a slim build. He is clean shaven with black hair styled with a fade. He was wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap, black converse shoes with white soles, black shorts and grey shirt. Security camera images show he has a tattoo on the back of his right hand and left arm.<\/p>\n
The female in question is described as white with a medium build and blonde hair. During the theft at the hardware store she was wearing a black tank top, black pants and white shoes. She has a tattoo on her upper back and right forearm ending above the elbow. At the grocery store, she had her hair up with a red crop top and black pants.<\/p>\n
