POLICE SEEK ROBBERY SUSPECT
York Regional Police are seeking information to help them apprehend a suspect connected to a robbery last Sunday night in Aurora. According to the YRP, a male suspect armed with a knife, entered Bros. Convenience near Yonge Street and Brookland on March 10 and demanding cash. He is described as Middle Eastern, about 40 years of age, approximately 5’9, medium build, and clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a black toque, grey sunglasses, a dark blue sweater, and dark blue cotton pants. “The suspect approached a store employee and made a demand for cash,” said Constable Blair McQuillan, in a statement. “The employee complied and the suspect fled on foot southbound with a quantity of money. The investigation is ongoing and police are asking for any information to come forward.” Anyone with information should contact the YRP’s Hold-Up unit at 1-866-876-5423 x6630, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or online at www.1800222tips.com.

AURORA HIGH RANKED HIGHEST
Aurora High School (AHS) once again leads Aurora’s secondary school in the Fraser Institute’s annual ranking of public and Catholic high schools across Ontario. The data was released Sunday and the schools were ranked on several key issues with the aim of helping parents choose schools for their kids, when they can, and giving schools an extra nudge to improve their scores. AHS ranked #58 out of 725 on the list in a nine-way tie, down from its #50 spot last year. Cardinal Carter was Aurora’s second highest ranking school, placing 94th, down from 58 last year. Jean Vanier was next at 148, followed by St. Maximilian Kolbe ranked 214th, ESC Renaissance at 232nd, and Dr. G.W. Williams in the 466th place.
