Armed robbery at Husky

Authorities are searching for a suspect following an armed robbery that took place at the Husky convenience store on Skaha Lake Road in Penticton, at 10:20 a.m. on Saturday morning.

Surveillance footage shows a female entering the convenience store, who rummages through her bag before pulling out a knife. 

The suspect leaned over the counter and stole Scratch and Win tickets, before stabbing the counter, computer screen and receipt-maker. 

She then knocked over the computer and walked around the counter, appearing to try and fill her bag before exiting the store.

Multiple attempts were made by the suspect to stab the employee when the employee tried to intervene in the robbery.

The suspect's face was concealed with a balaclava during the incident. She was wearing a pink sweater and patterned pants.

It's unknown if the employee sustained any injuries during the incident.

Police responded to the scene quickly, according to a witness, but were unable to locate a suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call Penticton RCMP.
