Heavily-armed tactical officers and police dogs have responded to a Brampton neighbourhood following a gunpoint robbery at a convenience store.

The heist occurred around 2 p.m. at the Hasty Market on Elliott Street, in the area of McMurchy Avenue South and Queen Street West.

Peel Const. Bally Saini said police responded to a 911 call at a convenience store for a “robbery with a gun.”

Money was taken and the two suspects fled on foot.
