Police have released security camera footage showing two men using an assault rifle to rob a gas station in the Scarborough Village neighbourhood last month.

According to police, the two men walked into an Esso station in the Kingston and Scarborough Golf Club roads at around 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 21.

Armed with the assault rifle, one on the men positioned himself at the front door where he pointed the gun at customers and employees, and demanded money.

One customer was robbed by the suspects, who also stole a quantity of cash and cigarettes from the gas station.

Both suspects are described by police as black, 20 to 25 years old, approximately five-foot-six, with thin builds.

The man armed with the gun was wearing black pants and a black hoodie, while the other wore a dark coat with two white stripes around the waist and cuffs, and a bandana covering his face.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7350 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
