The man who used a handgun to rob a Kelowna liquor store last winter has been handed a lengthy prison sentence.
Riley Frank, 30, was given a five-year sentence, which is the mandatory minimum.
Frank was identified as the man who pointed a 45 calibre handgun at a female clerk working at Jammers Liquor Store on Harvey Avenue in January.
