Barrie police are asking for the public's help locating two suspects concerning the theft of two vehicles from a business earlier this week.

Police allege the two each left with a vehicle, heading southbound on Patterson Rd. The first was a white 2017 GMC Terrain with the license plate BFRF-347. The second stolen vehicle is described as a silver 4-door Kia Forte with the license plate CPVZ-031.
