Ontario Provincial Police are looking for two males who held a knife to a woman's throat during an armed robbery in Orillia early Thursday morning.
Police said the female employee stepped out of a back door at a Pita Pit on Mississauga Street East shortly before 1:30 a.m. when she was approached by two males wearing bandanas.
The males forced the woman back into the store and ordered her to hand over about $500 from a cash drawer.
One of the males held a knife to the woman's throat as she was retrieving the money, OPP said.
The pair fled out of the back door.
OPP said the males are five-foot-six and were wearing blue hoodies or sweaters, while one of the males may have been wearing a red bandana.
