The Penticton RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a man who robbed a convenience store earlier this month.
On Feb. 6, 2019, at 5:50 a.m., officers were called to a local Penticton convenience store located at 702 Main St. after staff reported having been robbed by a man brandishing a knife.
Staff reported an unknown man entered their store, displayed a knife, and motioned for the clerk to open the cash register. The employee handed over cash to the man, who then immediately walked out of the store. No one was injured during the incident, according to police.
The man described as wearing an orange hoodie sweater, dark coloured pants, and black and white athletic shoes.
