At shortly after 1:30 p.m., a man walked into a retail store in the 300 block of Main Street in Selkirk and allegedly produced a knife with a red-wrapped handle, and demanded cash. After getting the money, he fled on foot north on Main Street and was last seen near Superior Avenue.

The suspect is described as approximately five-foot-10 tall, with a thin build and dark hair. He was wearing blue jeans, a grey hooded sweater, a black baseball hat, and a black crossbody bag with a black strap. The male was also wearing gloves at the time of the robbery. RCMP released a photo of the suspect on Sunday.

“If anyone sees the male, call 911 and do not approach him as police believe he is still armed,” RCMP said in a release.
