File # 2025-1698

The Quesnel RCMP is seeking information following an armed robbery that occurred at Circle K early Friday morning.

On March 7, 2025, at approximately 5:00 a.m., the Quesnel RCMP responded to a report that a man, armed with a firearm, robbed the Circle K convenience store located at the corner of Abbott Drive and Anderson Drive.

Frontline officers arrived on scene within minutes of the call and additional officers, which included RCMP Police Dog Services, began canvassing the area. The suspect was not located and based on the initial information, police believe the suspect fled on foot.

The investigation is in the early stages and police are working on obtaining witness statements as well as video surveillance in the area. An older Caucasian male exited the store at the time of the robbery and may have witnessed the incident. Police are looking to speak with this individual.

The suspect male is described as wearing a blue FILA hoodie, with a grey hoodie underneath, black gloves and black balaclava. The suspect is approximately 6 feet tall with a slim build.
