Powell River RCMP are trying to identify a man who robbed a liquor store last weekend.

Police received a report of a robbery at Duke’s Liquor store in the 4400 block of Marine Avenue at around 7:05 p.m on Nov. 20.

Police describe the man as being six feet, two or three inches tall wearing a black hat, black gloves, a bandana-style face mask, black hoodie, t-shirt with red and white writing, and blue jeans.

He also had sunglasses on top of his hat, according to police.
