GUELPH – Guelph Police is investigating after a convenience store was robbed Tuesday night.
Just after 10pm, police were called to the business near Eramosa Road and Victoria Road North.

“The suspect placed his hand inside a reusable bag to imply he had a weapon, though none was seen. He fled on foot with a small amount of cash,” police said in a news release.
None of the employees or customers in the store sustained any injuries.
The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 6’1” with an athletic build. He was wearing a white tank top, blue jeans, dark shoes, a white surgical mask, and a white cloth around his head.
