The Codiac RCMP is asking for the public's assistance to help identify an individual involved in an armed robbery at a business in Moncton, N.B.
On March 14, 2022, at approximately 9 p.m., a man entered the Esso Convenience Store on Lonsdale Street. He demanded money from an employee, and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. The man fled the scene in a van before police arrived, and was last seen driving towards Glencairn Drive. Nobody was injured during the incident.
Police are releasing video surveillance photos and are hoping that despite the quality of the images, information from the public may help identify the individual or provide additional information to help the investigation.
The individual is described as a man approximately five feet eight inches (172 centimeters) tall, with a medium build. At the time of the theft, he was wearing black sunglasses, a black mask or balaclava, a grey hooded sweatshirt, black gloves, grey sweat pants, and carried a black backpack. The man spoke English without an accent.
