A 21-year-old Toronto woman has been charged with robbery while a male suspect is wanted after an incident at a downtown bar.

Toronto Police said they responded to a robbery call Friday at about 12:30 a.m. in the Yonge-College Sts. area after an altercation that started Thursday at a bar near Yonge and Dundas St. E.

Police said the victim met the suspects there before a female suspect tried to steal their money. The victim fled but was followed to Yonge and College, where the female stole the victim’s money with help from a male suspect, according to the allegations.

The victim was not physically injured.

Shanika Richards was charged with robbery, but a male suspect is still being sought. He is about 25-30 years old with a medium build and was last seen wearing a black and yellow tracksuit, black sunglasses, white shoes and a black Chicago Bulls cap.
