Airdrie RCMP is investigating an armed robbery that occurred on Wednesday afternoon (January 24) at the Sobey's Liquor Store in Sierra Springs.

"One male suspect entered the store, went directly to the till and demanded some cash," said Cst. Dan Martin.

The man then told the employee he had a firearm in his possession. The employee complied with his demands, and the man fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police believe the man walked for some distance but were unable to locate him in the area.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, standing approximately 5'5" and weighing 130 lbs. He was wearing a beige or tan winter jacket and a black toque or scarf to cover his face.
