An Okanagan teen has been charged following an alleged gas station robbery earlier this week, according to Kelowna RCMP.
Police say the Husky gas station was robbed on Monday evening, with the incident along the 1500 block of Harvey Avenue taking place at approximately 9:30 p.m.
The male suspect entered the business and brandished a firearm before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash and tobacco products.
The gun, police noted, was later determined to be a realistic imitation.
Police say after officers arrived on scene, a male matching the suspect’s description was spotted.
