Police in Lindsay, Ont., are looking for two suspects after a grocery store employee was assaulted on Wednesday evening.
According to the City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service, around 5:50 p.m., a man and woman attended a William Street grocery store and began placing merchandise into a handbasket.

The female suspect is described as five feet five inches tall with a medium build and long, straight, dark brown hair worn up in a “messy” bun on top of her head. She was wearing a black jacket with prominent chrome zippers, grey tight-fitting pants and black running shoes with white soles, and carrying a large black leather purse with a leather and chain shoulder strap.
