An armed robbery has produced a frightened staff person but no arrest, yet. Police are calling for public assistance in identifying whomever was behind the attack.
The incident happened Sunday just after 8:30 p.m. at a retail store in the 3000 block of Massey Drive.
"Investigators believe that a lone male suspect entered the business with an edged weapon and demanded money," said Cpl. Craig Douglass of the Prince George RCMP. "The employee complied and the suspect left the business on foot. The employee was upset, but not physically hurt."
Police were quickly on the scene, including a dog unit, but locating the suspect was unsuccessful.
He is described as being a Caucasian male, 40 to 45 years old, approximately six feet tall with a "scruffy" beard, wearing a black baseball cap, dark grey jeans and a red jacket with a Prince George Cougars emblem on the back.
Anyone who has information that could help police locate this suspect is asked to call Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca. You can also Text-A-Tip to CRIMES using keyword "pgtips".
