Police were called to the store in the Hurontario and John streets area, near Cooksville GO station, at around 8:40 p.m., with reports of the robbery attempt.
Const. Akhil Mooken said the male suspect took off empty-handed after store employees, who weren’t injured in the incident, hit the accused with a banana.
