Police seek woman in two downtown store robberies

Toronto police are searching for a woman in connection with a pair of downtown robberies.

Investigators say a woman entered a store in the Dundas Street West and Bay Street area just after 9 p.m. on March 19 and put multiple items in a basket before leaving it at the front of the store. As a store employee picked up the basket, the woman physically assaulted two employees, allegedly spraying one of them with an unknown substance before fleeing the scene.

Police say just before 7 p.m. on November 7, they were called to the same location after a woman entered the store and displayed what appeared to be pepper spray. She allegedly grabbed a quantity of items before leaving the store and fleeing westbound on Dundas Street West.

In each case, the woman is described as being in her early 20s,
