According to the RCMP, the suspect entered the business and allegedly produced what appeared to be a handgun before demanding cash.

After the employee complied with his demands, he fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.

“Fortunately, no one was injured in this robbery, but the worker was extremely shaken by this incident,” said Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy.
