Police say one person is about six-feet tall, heavy build, wearing white brush camouflage coat and pants, a dark blue ski mask and gloves. Police say the suspect also walked with a noticeable limp.

The second person was smaller, but also wore a camouflage Toque, blue coat, black pants and gloves. The second person carried a red and black gym bag.

Police released a photo from inside the store, hoping someone would recognize the suspects.
