parking lot and entered the store to purchase a few items. Upon returning to her vehicle in the lot several minutes later, a full size pick up truck pulled up next to her. A male suspect exited the passenger door of the truck and approached the victim who was getting into her vehicle. The suspect, who had a his face covered by a hoodie, brandished a silver coloured knife and demanded the victim's purse. The victim complied and handed the suspect her purse. The suspect got back into the truck which was being driven by a second male suspect.

He had dark curly hair shoulder length hair and was wearing a black leather jacket. This suspect did not exit the vehicle. The suspect vehicle is described as a early 2000's two toned full sized pick up truck. The darker colour is on the upper portion of the vehicle with the lighter colour (possibly grey) being on the lower portion. The truck had an extended cab, a bed liner in the box, a trailer hitch and the tailgate was open. The rear licence plate appeared to have been obscured with some type of tape.
