Windsor police are looking to identify suspects in two separate knife-point robberies at local stores this week.
On Tuesday around 6:00 p.m., a man and a woman entered a store on Walker Road, filled up a shopping cart with merchandise and attempted to leave the store without paying. When they were confronted by a store employee, the woman took out a kitchen-style knife in an "aggressive manner." The employee backed away and the pair left the store.

The second suspect is described as a white male around 25-30 years of age. He was wearing black pants, a black coat, white shirt, white Nike shoes and a blue toque.
A similar incident happened on Wednesday at a store on Tecumseh Road E near Lauzon Parkway. A pair entered the store around 9:00 p.m. loaded shopping baskets full of merchandise and tried to leave the store. When a customer tried to stop them the female suspect brandished a knife and they left the store.
The suspects were seen fleeing the area in a silver Pontiac Sunfire bearing stolen licence plates. The plates and vehicle have since been recovered by police.
