91原创 RCMP are looking for suspects in a pair of armed robberies that took place this week, both involving knives.
In the first robbery, a man walked into a North 91原创 hair salon on Jan. 15 and pulled a knife, taking $1,000 from the till, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the 91原创 RCMP.
No one was injured.
In the second incident, on the morning of Jan. 18, a man pulled a knife in the Aldergrove 7-Eleven. He was carrying a hockey bag and demanded it be filled with cigarettes.
Once that was done, he left the store, fleeing in a black and grey Ford R350 pickup truck, with a woman seen sitting in the truck鈥檚 passenger seat.
