North Vancouver RCMP are hoping someone from the public can help them track down two suspects wanted in the robbery of a Lower Capilano gas station.
Police say two men entered the Shell station on Capilano Road around 8 p.m. Tuesday and threatened to harm the clerk if he did not hand over money from the register and cigarettes.
The suspects, who were disguised by masks, claimed they were armed with a gun and knife, although neither were produced.
Then then fled on foot towards Marine Drive.
The gas station’s surveillance cameras captured images of the men before they fled. One of them was wearing a light grey and blue hoodie with a Puma brand on the front. The other was wearing a black hoodie with white sleeves, jeans and was carrying running shoes wrapped in a bag, police say.
“Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two suspects,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman in a press release. “Considering the time of evening, it is hopeful that someone may have observed something that will be of help in our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go online to Solvecrime.ca.
