Police seek armed robbery suspect
The Windsor Police Service is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect following an armed robbery in the city’s east end.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m. on January 26, 2026, officers responded tom a report of a robbery at a restaurant in the 3000 block of Tecumseh Road East. They learned a man had entered the restaurant shortly after 7:30 p.m. and later approached the cashier with his hands in his pockets and his face covered. The suspect indicated that he had a firearm and demanded money from the cash register.
Fearing for their safety, employees ran to the back of the restaurant. The suspect then opened the register and fled on foot with an unknown quantity of cash.
No physical injuries were reported.
