OPP officers were called to a department store on McNeely Avenue at 6:00 p.m. on September 30, 2024, when it was reported that a robbery was taking place. Two men had smashed a display case in the electronics department and removed multiple devices.
The males fled the store and left in a mini-van. There were no injuries during the incident.

- One was wearing a white hoodie and black pants
- The other was a green/greyish sweater and black pants
