The Blackfalds RCMP are turning to the public for information following an armed robbery at a local 7/11 in the early hours of Monday morning.

On Nov. 11 at 12:36 a.m. the RCMP attended a call at the store after a report of a robbery with a firearm after two unidentified people wearing scream masks entered the store, threatened staff, and fired a shotgun into the ceiling.

The two suspects then left after taking cash from the till.

The RCMP is asking the public for any information regarding the crime as they continue to investigate. Police say the shotgun had a unique silver/ stainless steel barrel.
