One or more will distract the clerk/cashier, while the others lift goods and go into offices. They will avoid the front of the store/cash as they leave with articles hidden by their clothing. Some may be struggling to walk as they leave, say police.

If anyone has information call police immediately or the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
