Police seek suspect in attempted armed robbery in Kingsville

The Leamington OPP Crime Unit is looking for a young man who attempted to rob a Kingsville gas station at knifepoint on Wednesday evening.
According to police, the male entered the Division Street North gas station about 8 p.m., threw the cashier a white plastic bag, pulled out a knife and told them to ‘empty the till’.
Police said the victim spoke to the suspect, who eventually grabbed the bag and ran off, heading south.
The Emergency Response Team and K-9 Unit were called in and searched the area but were unable to find the suspect.
He is described as Caucasian, about 20, 5’8” to 5’10”. He was wearing a red winter coat, with a red plaid coat underneath, baggy jeans, no belt and spoke with an immature voice.
Police said the suspect had been at the gas station earlier in the day.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Leamington OPP Crime Unit 519-326-5373 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-22
