Barrie Police are looking for a suspect they call the backpack bandit.
Today at 4:51 a.m., police responded to a robbery at the Circle K Convenience Store at 353 Duckworth Street in Barrie after a lone suspect entered the store armed with what appears to be a bear repellant type product and a knife.
