He smashed the front window to get inside, then forced open the cash register.
Police said the man was wearing a “very distinct” jacket with fur around the hood. He was also wearing jeans, dark-coloured “skater shoes” with white laces and black mechanic’s gloves with grey leather palms.
Investigators said the break-in was similar to another one on Jan. 4 in the 100 block of Lesperance Road, also in Tecumseh. Someone tossed a brick through a window then took cash from the register.
Anyone with information about either break-in can call the Essex County OPP street crimes unit at 519-723-2491. You can also make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
