“One of the women attempted to distract the victim,” Const. Sinderela Chung said Saturday, explaining “the victim advised the woman to stop.”
She said the woman then “grabbed a bracelet from the victim’s wrist as well as a quantity of cash.”
“Both women fled the area in a dark-coloured, older-model Mercedes Benz SUV – possibly a 2010 GLE or GLS,” Chung said.
Investigators have released images of two suspects, and a suspect vehicle, hoping the public can help identify and locate them.
One woman is described as having black hair in a ponytail. She was wearing black leggings, gray and white boots, a red sweater, blue jacket, white scarf and carrying a black handbag.
The second woman is described as having black hair. She was wearing orange, white and black patterned pants, a white scarf and a dark-coloured jacket.
Anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of either suspect is urged to call police at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
