Police have released photos of two suspects nearly a year after the pair allegedly robbed a gas station in Vaughan.

York Regional Police said two men entered a gas station on March 24, 2015, in the area of Highway 27 and Innovation Drive. The men approached the attendant and made a demand for cash.

Officers said one of the men pointed a handgun at the attendant, who complied with their demands and handed over a sum of cash, and at least 100 lottery tickets.

"They ordered him to open a second cash register. He was unable to, so the suspects physically took the cash register itself," Det. Sgt. Michael Fleischaker said Friday.

The thieves placed the stolen items in a backpack and left the scene on foot, police said in a statement Friday.

The same suspects were captured on video at a later time, cashing in their lottery winnings at a convenience store in the area of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue. Police told CTV Toronto's Tamara Cherry that the men won approximately $50.

"It's just not fruitful. It's not worth it," Fleischaker said.

Investigators released photos on Friday, asking anyone with more information to contact them at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6631. Tips can be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
