KAMLOOPS — RCMP are looking for assistance from the public after a Kamloops pizzeria was robbed at knifepoint over the weekend.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says on Saturday afternoon at about 1:00 p.m., a man entered the Papa John’s location in the Cityview Shopping Centre on Highway 5A, asking for change for a $20 bill.

When the clerk told him it was against store policy to make change, the man pulled out a knife and grabbed a handful of cash from the register.

Cash in hand, the man ran from the pizza shop on foot, heading south.
