MERRITT, B.C. — Merritt RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying a robbery suspect.

At around 5:58 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 13), RCMP say an unknown man with a knife on a broom handle robbed a cashier at the Dollar Tree store at 2102 Quilchena Ave.

After the robbery, police say the suspect fled the store. It’s believed he ran east down Quilchena Avenue.

The suspect is described as a slender man with a camouflage baseball cap with a skull wearing a soldier’s helmet. Police say he was wearing a dark navy hoodie, green gloves, blue jeans and carried a black backpack on his back and a blue bag in his hands.
