Durham Regional Police say the armed robbery occurred at a cannabis dispensary near Liverpool Rd. and Krosno Blvd. — south of Bayly St. — around 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 16.
“A male entered the business and pointed a handgun at an employee before assaulting her and demanding cash,” Const. Nicholas Gluckstein said in a statement released Wednesday.
He said the robber stole “numerous products and cash,” and then fled the area before officers arrived.
The employee was not physically injured.
