Vernon RCMP are asking for public assistance after a gas station was robbed.
At about 9:15 p.m. July 26, a man entered the Petro Canada on 25th Avenue, produced what appeared to be a handgun and stole an undisclosed amount of money and merchandise.
"The man then fled on foot," said Cst. Jocelyn Noseworthy.
"Police were on scene within minutes of the crime but the suspect was not located."
