The Waterloo Regional Police Service is looking for four suspects after an attempted robbery in Waterloo.

Police were called to the Hemlock Street and University Avenue West area on Thursday around 12 p.m.

Officers were told four males arrived at the business in a white four-door sedan. Three of the suspects got out of the vehicle wearing gloves and masks and carried empty duffel bags.

Police said the business’ employees stopped the suspects from getting inside the building and watched them climb back into the vehicle and take off westbound on University Avenue West.
