Didsbury RCMP are looking into an armed robbery that took place around 9:00pm on Saturday (April 15) at a gas station in Carstairs.

After parking a dark coloured Pontiac Sunfire at the pumps, a man wearing a disguise approached an employee and displayed what was believed to be a firearm. He then entered the station and demanded cash and merchandise. The man fled the scene in the Sunfire with an undisclosed amount of money before police arrived.

Police believe the man was involved in two other robberies that occurred in Lacombe over the weekend, one just before noon on Saturday and the second just after 2:00am on Sunday.

The suspect is described as a white man, between 5'6" and 5'11". At the time of the Carstairs robbery, he was wearing a black hoodie and hat, dark jeans, white shoes and sunglasses.
