Nanaimo RCMP hope the public can help identify a man who robbed the Supreme Convenience store at gunpoint on the weekend.
The robbery happened at 6:10 p.m. Sunday when a man entered the store, at 2101 Boundary Avenue, produced a black handgun and demanded money from the till.
The female clerk handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the man ran out the front door.

The suspect is Caucasian, medium build, 5'7" to 5'8" in tall with short blonde hair. He wore an Air Jordan baseball cap, black T-shirt and black track pants with horizontal and vertical stripes and concealed his face with a blue surgical mask.
