Police said the driver is described as a white male, 18 to 20 years old with shaggy hair and a toque. The passenger is described as a darker skinned male wearing a hoodie.

The suspect vehicle is described as a black Ford Focus hatchback with noticeable damage to the passenger side. Police said for the public's safety, anyone observing this vehicle or these individuals is asked to not approach and call 911.
