Violent Store Robbery in Bowmanville
The DRPS is asking the public to help identify three suspects who robbed a Bowmanville store at gunpoint last night and assaulted the clerk.
On Thursday, August 28th, 2008 at approximately 11:50 p.m., three masked men entered the Daisy Mart Variety store on King Street West in Bowmanville and one approached the clerk, who was in the back of the store. This suspect struck the clerk on the head with a rifle then held him at gunpoint while the other two suspects grabbed a quantity of cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets from the counter area.
All three males then ran eastbound along the front of the plaza then northbound towards the rear of the building.
The suspects are described as male, between the ages of 20-30, wearing dark, baggy clothing. Suspect #1 was described as male, black, about 5'11' tall, wearing a black leather jacket with a beige hoody underneath. One of the suspects was shorter than the other two and may have been wearing a gold or dark-yellow sweater. They were carrying duffel-style bags.
The clerk received medical attention for non life-threatening wounds. Anyone with information regarding the identity of these suspects is asked to contact the Robbery Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5355. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.
