York Regional Police (YRP) is searching for at least four suspects following a commercial robbery at the Shoppers Drug Mart located at Tenth Line and Main Street in Stouffville.

Police say the incident was reported as a theft in progress at approximately 12:20 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 16. Investigators believe three suspects entered the store and stole a large quantity of cosmetics, while a fourth suspect remained in a vehicle nearby.

The vehicle is described as a grey Honda Civic, and YRP has released descriptions for three of the four known individuals involved.

The first suspect is described as a male with a light complexion, heavy build, approximately 5-foot-11 and 220 pounds, with short blond hair. He was last seen wearing a brown coat, green cargo pants, and a face covering.

The second suspect is described as a light-complexioned male with a thin build, approximately 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds. He was wearing a brown jacket and a face covering.

The third suspect is described as a male with a darker complexion, thin build, approximately 6-foot-1, and older than the other two suspects. He was last seen wearing all black clothing and a face covering.

No weapons were involved in the incident, and no injuries were reported. YRP clarified that while initial reports suggested at least one suspect may have been armed with a firearm, investigators have found no evidence to support that claim.

Officers continue to gather additional information and evidence as the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken with police is urged to come forward. YRP is also interested in any private dash-cam or surveillance footage that may have captured the incident.
