Jan 21, 2019 | 1:10 PM

RCMP in Rimbey would like the public’s help in identifying the suspect in an armed robbery over the weekend.

Mounties say it was Saturday night (Jan. 19) at about 8:30 when members responded to a 911 call regarding an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Rimbey Liquor Store.

One suspect entered the store, they say, before pointing what is believed to be a handgun at staff, and then leaving with a bag of cash.

The suspect also took a box containing funds for charity. The male fled on foot and no vehicle was seen.

The clerk working at the time was not injured.
