Police are seeking a man who displayed a handgun to a store clerk, but ended up leaving empty handed.

A man is seen flashing a handgun at a store clerk.

The incident was captured on video at the Neighbourhood Variety and Video store on Innisfil Street. It was reported that a lone male entered the premise and was acting suspiciously. He was described as wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, a grey hooded sweatshirt, grey pants and black gloves.
The male, police say, approached the counter and demanded money. The security video shows him lifting his shirt to reveal what appeared to be a handgun. He demanded money from the clerk and when it took too long, he headed out of the store and eastbound across Innisfil Street.
Anyone with information can contact the Barrie Police at (705) 725-7025, extension 2102, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
