Rocky Mountain House RCMP are seeking public assistance in identifying the suspects involved in an armed robbery on Halloween night.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Rocky Mounties responded to an armed robbery at the Tamarack Liquor Store.

Two suspects entered the liquor store, according to police. One was wearing a ā€œVā€ for Vendetta mask and the other a skull mask. Both were dressed all in black and had blue medical gloves on. The individual in the skull mask brandished a machete and told the clerk to keep away from the counter with his hands up, while the second individual stole a large bottle of vodka. One of them was carrying a backpack.

One of the suspects is a male and the RCMP have no other info on suspect number two. Both fled the scene and ran towards 49 Avenue. Nobody was harmed during the incident.
