Selkirk RCMP are asking the public for information connected to a recent armed robbery incident that occurred at a Lockport business.

On May 27, 2014, shortly after 10pm, a male entered a business on Highway 44 in Lockport, Manitoba and demanded money from the clerk on duty. He was armed with what appeared to be a handgun. The suspect made away with an undisclosed amount of cash. He fled north on foot, toward the floodway bridge on Highway 44.

Police say that there were no injuries sustained during the robbery.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 18-20 years of age. He was about six feet tall with a slim build. He was wearing a black, zippered hoody, a black and white bandana tied over the hood and his face and sunglasses.
