The man who committed the Feb. 15 robbery told an employee of a Cree Road business that he was armed before demanding money.

Thompson RCMP are looking for an armed robbery suspect who stole cash, cigarettes and cell phones from a business on Cree Road Feb. 15.

The man, described as Caucasian and 5’9” tall with a medium build, entered the business around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday and told the employee he had a weapon before demanding cash. He fled with the stolen items and the employee was not physically injured. 

RCMP responded immediately and an attempt was made to track the suspect using a police dog but blustery conditions prevented it from picking up a scent.
