Stroller with a child used for getaway in Halton Hills outlet mall heist

A child, a stroller, a knife and the need for some high-end fashion all led to criminal activity at the Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills recently.

According to reports, two women were in the Tommy Hilfiger store pushing a child in a stroller around 7 p.m. on Nov. 11.

The women were spotted filling the stroller with clothes and then left the store without paying.

Information from Halton police indicates that once outside, the women were confronted by a store employee. That’s when one of the suspects pulled out a knife and warned the employee to back off.

There were no injuries and the women left the scene with the stolen goods.

Police are investigating.

Anyone with information about this case can contact police at 905-825-4777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
