Ottawa Police are asking for public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a robbery in the 1300 block of Carling Avenue and two suspects involved in a theft and fraud investigation.
The robbery occurred on June 7, 2026, at approximately 11:11 a.m., when the suspect entered a retail business, took several items and put them into a reusable bag. When staff attempted to intervene, the suspect pulled out a weapon and threatened them with it.
The suspect is described as a man about 30 years old, with dirty reddish-brown hair and a beard. At the time of the incident, he was wearing prescription glasses and a dark-coloured jacket. The suspect fled the area on foot.
On the afternoon of July 17th, 2026, two suspects entered a business in the 1300 block of Wellington Street West and stole a victim’s purse. The two men then made several fraudulent transactions with stolen credit cards throughout the City of Ottawa.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of these individuals is asked to call the Central Criminal Investigations Section at 613-236-1222, extension 5166.
