Woodstock Police are investigating an attempted robbery at the J&P Variety on Ingersoll Ave. Around 10 p.m. Thursday, two males entered the store and approached the female clerk. One male threw a backpack onto the counter and demanded cash while pointing a knife at the clerk. She screamed, alerting a male employee who was working in the back. When he entered the store front, the two suspects fled on foot. They were last seen running west across Riddell Street and witnesses did report seeing two males getting into a vehicle similar to a Chrysler Intrepid. Police are now looking for two white males, approximately 18-20 years old, 5'7" to 5'8" with thin builds, roughly 160 lbs. The first male was wearing a grey hoodie, a red and black lumber jacket, black pants, black shoes with green laces and white soles. The second had on a bright blue ski jacket, white or grey hoodie, black pants and black shoes with white soles. Anyone with additional information is asked to call Woodstock Police at 519-537-2323 or Crime Stoppers at 519-421-TIPS/800-222-TIPS.
