Police say that the suspect was wearing a black balaclava, gloves, dark jacket, red buttoned shirt, dark pants and a hat. He was also carrying a yellow crowbar and was seen leaving in a blue van.

On August 18, 2025, at 3:50am, a suspect was seen breaking into the same business wearing similar shoes, a black balaclava and carrying a yellow crowbar. The suspect once again stole an undisclosed amount of Canadian currency.
