City police are on the lookout for two male suspects in connection to an armed robbery and vehicle theft over the weekend in a northeast London parking lot.

Officers responded to the scene at an unspecified address on Huron Street around 9 p.m. Saturday.

Investigators learned a woman had parked her SUV when she was approached by two men who were unknown to her. One, it’s alleged, asked the woman what time it was and then grabbed her, while the other produced a knife.

Police said the pair robbed the woman of her car keys and fled down Highbury Avenue in her vehicle. The victim suffered minor physical injuries.

Officers said they searched the area but did not find the two suspects.
