"The suspect is described as male, wearing a red toque, camouflaged pants, a black hoodie with a white symbol on the front and back, and black shoes," reads a news release from police. 

"He had a black and white handkerchief covering his face and was carrying a black 'gym style' bag."

The incident happened at approximately 1 p.m. on Nov. 9, and police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact Acting Detective Sergeant Ron Wright of the Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4747 ext. 2284.

According to the Royal Canadian Legion, all funds collected from poppy donation boxes go directly towards supporting veterans and their families, and to help ensure Canadians "never forget."
