An early morning robbery in a gas station just outside Nanaimo is now being investigated by the RCMP.
Shortly before 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 18, a person robbed the Gas N Go on the Trans-Canada Highway near the intersection of Morden Road and Highway 1.
The suspect walked into the business brandishing a knife and demanded an employee hand over an undisclosed amount of cash and merchandise.
The suspect then fled and no direction of travel was provided.
The suspect is described as a man around 6’0 tall, a thin build, and in their late teens or early 20’s.
The robber wore a blue t-shirt, dark pants, striped runners, a black ball cap, dark rimmed glasses, and their face was partially concealed by a white cloth.
Any motorists in the area between 3:30 to 4:00 a.m. are asked to review their dash cam footage.
Anyone with information on the robbery or who saw anything suspicious is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line.
