KAMLOOPS — Police are asking for the public’s help as they investigate a robbery at the Sahali 7-Eleven store.

Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says a call came in at 2:30 a.m. today (Jan. 8) stating that the store had just been robbed.

A man entered the store and demanded money from the clerk. He took the money from the cash register and also stole “several cartons” of Pall Mall cigarettes.

Shelkie says the suspect then left the store, got into the passenger seat of what appeared to be a dark-coloured Honda Civic, which then headed southbound on Summit Drive.

No weapon was produced by the suspect and the two clerks who were working at the time of the robbery were unharmed.

The suspect is described as roughly 5’10”, appears to have brown eyes, wore a dark grey zip-up hoodie with a “Boston Celtics” logo on the front, a black balaclava, white and black bike gloves with a diamond pattern and a black balaclava.

Shelkie is asking anyone with information on the suspect or vehicle to call Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
