Axe and possibly a firearm used in robbery at Windsor jewellery store, say police
Police are searching for two people who held up employees at a jewellery store near the Windsor airport.
Officers responded to a "robbery in progress" at a jewellery store on Walker Road, south of Division Road, just before 6 p.m. Tuesday.
