Waterloo regional police are searching for a pair of suspects after an alleged incident outside a Waterloo business on Friday night.

In a Monday afternoon update, police said the two suspects were believed to be male, and reportedly threatened a victim with a gun near the business in the busy King Street North and Columbia Street area.

The pair fled before police arrived, shortly after 11:50 p.m.

Few details about the suspects or the victim have been released at this time. Police have said the victim was an adult, and was not physically injured.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
