Red Deer RCMP investigate robbery at south end phone store

Red Deer RCMP are investigating a robbery at a south Red Deer cell phone store yesterday afternoon and are looking for public assistance to identify three male suspects who were seen fleeing in a black SUV.

Shortly before 3 p.m. three men entered the Bell store at Southpointe Common and demanded that the staff member open the safe. The suspects placed a large number of cell phones into a cardboard box and fled the store.

The three suspects were all described as having slim builds, and one was described as Caucasian. All three wore face coverings, black hoodies, and yellow or black work gloves. The suspects fled in a black SUV and were last seen driving eastbound on 19 Street.

RCMP attended immediately and searched the area for the suspect vehicle.
