A distraction theft has Barrie Police seeking two suspects
They say it happened Saturday, November 16th at the Centra Food Market at 320 Bayfield Street.
The pair, a man and a woman, purchased two drinks. The male then asked to exchange $20 bills after telling the cashier that he collects Canadian currency and in particular was interested in the serial numbers.
The cashier accepted the rather unique explanation and willingly handed over a quantity of bills.
The suspects were then able to distract the cashier and the other customers in line and this allowed the male suspect to leave the store with nineteen $20 bills.
The suspects are described as:
Male, approximately 35 years old, 5’8, dark complexion, black hair, heavy accent and possibly of South Asian or Middle Eastern descent.
Female, approximately 30 years old, 5’6, dark complexion, black hair, heavy accent and possibly of South Asian or Middle Eastern descent.
If you have any info, call Barrie Police.
