Police say that the female suspect entered the Bloor-Yorkville Coach store on Saturday morning around 10:30 a.m.
The woman indicated that she was armed with a gun before stealing several items. She then jumped into a silver SUV being driven by a man, according to TPS Constable David Hopkinson, at which point "the couple sped off."
Around 11 a.m., the pair is alleged to have been involved in a collision at Jarvis and Wellesley.

Witnesses told CityNews the man had been "driving erratically" and that he ran a red light before crashing into a white car, flipping the getaway vehicle on its roof.
Today I almost got hit by 2 cars while standing at the curb waiting to cross. She ran a red light, hit another car, flipped and flew right onto the side walk. I was shook. #toronto pic.twitter.com/xz5QV6kFg8

Miraculously, all four people in the white car emerged unscathed — as did the two heist suspects — who allegedly ran away on foot before police arrived to the scene.

She was last seen in all black clothing and, when caught, could face such charges as robbery with a firearm and failure to remain at the scene.
