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.

Officers say an employee at the store told them an unknown man came in and demanded money. He then pushed the employee towards the cash register and made her open it, according to police.

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.
