The RCMP is investigating an armed robbery that occurred yesterday at a gas station in Plymouth.

Officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at a gas station on Bridge Avenue at around 9 pm. They learned that a man had entered the gas station, told an employee to give him the till and flashed a weapon in his waist band. The man took cash from the till and fled the scene on foot heading towards Foord Street in Stellarton. The employee was not physically injured during the incident.

Police describe the man as 6-foot, with light brown hair, and a scruffy beard. He is believed to be between 30 and 40 years old. He was wearing a grey hoodie, white t-shirt, blue jeans, dark shoes with white soles and black sunglasses.
