Police say at 11:35 p.m. on May 21, a man carrying a gun went into a business on Road 354 and threatened the employees while demanding cash and cigarettes. No one was physically harmed.

Police say the gun used was described as a sawed-off single-barrel shotgun.

The man then fled the scene and police say they believe he got into a pickup truck that was seen leaving the community headed west on Highway 45.

Police describe the suspect as five-foot-10 in height with a slim build, wearing a black ball cap, grey hoodie and a face mask. The suspected vehicle is described as a newer, dark-coloured lifted diesel pickup truck with bright LED lights that, when running, is excessively noisy.
