DURHAM, Ont. – Police are looking for a man they allege pistol-whipped and robbed a female sex-trade worker in Ajax earlier this week.

It’s alleged the man went to the victim’s home Friday under the guise of being a client, before hitting her in the head with a handgun and stealing cash.

The woman was treated for a laceration and released from hospital.

The suspect is described as black, 20-to-25 years old, six-feet tall and nearly 150 pounds.
