Three people are wanted by police after a commercial robbery in Newmarket on Wednesday.

York Regional Police (YRP) say just before 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 two suspects entered a store in the area of Davis Drive and Leslie Street and used hammers to smash display cases.

The suspects allegedly told employees they were armed with a firearm, but police say no weapon was ever seen.

Police say the two robbers stole an unspecified number of fragrances before fleeing in a dark-coloured SUV driven by a third person.

YRP are now looking for someone they describe as a white man in his 20s, with a medium build and wearing black clothes and yellow gloves.

They’re also searching for a white woman who was described wearing a black jacket with fur and black pants at the time of the robbery.

No description of the driver was given.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
