AJAX -- A second Ajax Subway restaurant has been robbed since last Friday.
Police are looking for as many as six suspects after the Harwood Avenue South Subway and its patrons were robbed Sunday around 4:30 a.m.
The suspects, one armed with a handgun, demanded cash, jewelry, clothing, and cell phones before fleeing in an unknown direction, say Durham Regional Police. The suspects are all described as men, black, age 16 to 19, in baggy clothes.
On Aug. 15, around 5:15 a.m., the Subway restaurant at Salem Road was robbed by two masked men who drove away. The suspects in that case are described as white, 5-foot, 9-inches tall, about 150 pounds; and black, 5-foot, 11-inches, around 210 pounds, with short hair.
