At approximately 6:00 p.m. on Dec. 5, the Cold Lake RCMP responded to an armed robbery at a business located on 52 Street and Highway 28. The male suspect entered the business with what a witness believed to be a pistol and demanded money.

The suspect then left the business with a significant amount of money in a black Dodge Ram truck. No one was harmed the RCMP said.

At this time it is unclear to Lakeland Connect which business was held up.

The male suspect is described as:

• Approximately 5’8 in height
• Medium build
• Wearing all black
• Mid 40’s

The Cold Lake RCMP made extensive patrols in the area but the suspect was not located.
