Pipe-wielding suspect robs gas station

Police say an employee was threatened with a pipe during the robbery of a gas station in Kelowna.

RCMP say on Monday, Nov. 15, at 1:08 a.m., two male suspects entered a gas station on Springfield Road. After threatening the worker, one of the men robbed the store of cash and cigarettes while the other suspect stood watch of the door.

The first suspect is described as a Caucasian man, large build, wearing a grey sweater, dark pants, and brown shoes and dark mask.

Suspect two is described as a man of medium build, wearing a dark jacket, dark pants, dark shoes with white soles.

The suspects fled the store on foot toward Cooper Road with an undisclosed amount of cash and merchandise.
