Quesnel RCMP is seeking information after a man with a firearm robbed a Circle K convenience store early Friday morning, RCMP said in a news release.
On March 7 at around 5 a.m., Mounties responded to a report of an armed man robbed the Circle K convenience store located at the corner of Abbott Drive and Anderson Drive.
Officers arrived on the scene within a few minutes of the call. A canvass of the area with help from an RCMP police dog took place but the suspect was not located. Police believe he fled the scene on foot.
The investigation is in the early stages and police are working on obtaining witness statements as well as video surveillance in the area.
Officers are hoping to speak to an older Caucasian male who exited the store at the time of the robbery and may have witnessed the incident.
