Police say it’s possible the vehicle also has damage in the rear because it struck a beige-coloured Mazda truck in the parking lot.
The suspect is described as a black man, in his mid-30s to early-40s, about five-foot-eight-inches to five-foot-11-inches tall and weighing about 190 pounds. He had scruffy facial hair and was wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, sunglasses, a grey flannel jacket, dark pants and bright white running shoes.
Anyone with information or who has footage from the area is asked to call police at (902) 490-5020 or Crime Stoppers.
