ELECTRONICS STORE VICTIM OF THEFT

A Mississauga electronics outlet was victimized by two thieves, and police are asking the public to take a good look at these photographs to help identify the men. Your anonymous call to Crime Stoppers can help solve this case.

On Saturday, January 3rd, 2009, at around 3:30 in the afternoon, the two suspects entered The Future Shop on Argentia Road, near Winston Churchill Boulevard. The men headed to an area of the store that housed a display cabinet full of MP3 Players. In what appears to be a pre-planned effort, one suspect stood watch as the other suspect opened the cabinet and concealed a number of ARCO MP3 Players inside of his jacket. This theft was completed a number of times until the two suspects eventually left the store.

The suspect who concealed the items is described as male, 5’ 8” to 5’ 11’ tall with short dark hair and stubble on his face. He wore a black leather jacket, a grey shirt and dark jeans.

The suspect who stood watch is also described as male, 5’ 5” to 5’ 9” tall, with short dark hair. He wore a black leather jacket, a green shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes.
