Manitoba RCMP are looking for a suspect in a robbery at a Thompson business.

Police said the unknown man showed up at the business on Cree Road around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday, and threatened an employee’s life, saying he had a weapon.

The employee wasn’t hurt, but the man took cash, cigarettes and cellphones that were for sale before fleeing the scene.

RCMP tried to track him with a police dog, but were unsuccessful due to blustery conditions.

The suspect is described as five-feet-nine-inches in height with a medium build, wearing a camouflage jacket and pants with hunter orange on the inside.
