Mounties in Chilliwack are looking for public help in finding an alleged gas station robber.

Back on Feb. 23 just after 8 p.m., police say they responded to a gas station robbery around the 45000 block of Old Yale Road with police dogs in tow.

According to their release, “a man threatened a clerk with a suspected firearm and demanded money.”

Although officers say they showed up in minutes, they were unable to track down the suspect who had got away “with an undisclosed amount of cash.”

Police have released security pictures in hopes someone may be able to help identify the person.

No one was injured during the robbery, and Mounties say the event is still under investigation.

Police ask anyone with any information to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
