Kelowna RCMP are asking for the public’s help in trying to identify a robbery suspect.

On Feb. 18th, at approximately 8:00 p.m., a man entered a convenience store in the 800-block of Rutland Road North in Kelowna.

Police allege the suspect took out what appeared to be bear spray before demanding money from a store clerk.

A short time later, the suspect ran out of the establishment empty handed after the clerk called out to another employee for help.
