Police are searching for two burglary suspects who used an SUV to smash their way into a Windsor pharmacy over the weekend.
Officers arrived at the scene Saturday just before 4 a.m. after receiving a report of a break-and-enter at a commercial business in the 500 block of Tecumseh Road East.
Police said two suspects used a sport utility vehicle as a battering ram to smash into the rear entrance of the store and gain access to the pharmacy.
Almost $4,000 in electronics were taken from the business, according to investigators.
The pair fled the scene in the same vehicle, which is described as a white, Ford Escape equipped with a sunroof and a sport utility rack on top.
The first suspect is described as a male with a medium build, who wore a black face covering, black coat, black pants, blue surgical gloves and a silver watch on his left wrist.
The second suspect is described also as a male with a medium build, who wore a black face covering, black baseball hat, black coat, black pants and black gloves.
He carried a black and yellow duffel bag.
Anyone with information that can identify the suspects or further information on the incident is asked to call the Windsor Police Service target base unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4350 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
The week before, police caught a 40-year-old man in the midst of a commercial break-and-enter on the city’s east side.
That incident occurred Nov. 13 just before 6 a.m. at a business in the 3100 block of Tecumseh Road East.
The suspect attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended following a brief chase. Stolen gift cards were recovered.
The business sustained damage from a broken window.
