Police looking for suspect after report of armed holdup in Hamilton’s west end

Hamilton police are asking for the public’s help to find a suspect after an alleged armed robbery took place in late August.

Investigators say officers were called to Main Street West and Osler Drive at 5 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 30 after a report of a holdup by a group of men in a vehicle.

According to police, two men waiting for a bus were approached by the suspects, who exited a vehicle and allegedly threatened them with a knife.

The two men turned over their wallets and the group drove away in a white, four-door sedan, police say.

Only minutes later, detectives say a suspect used a bank card from one of the alleged victims at a nearby gas station.

Police have released an image of the suspect, who is believed to be in his early 20s and has a medium build with dark facial hair and dark hair.
