Halifax police seek man who robbed store, fled on a bicycle
Police in Halifax are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a store and then fled the scene on a bicycle.
Halifax Regional Police responded to a report of a robbery at the Sobeys on Windsor Street around 5:45 p.m. Sunday. They say a man in a checkout lane told staff he had a gun, threatened the employee, and demanded money from the till.
Police say no one actually saw a weapon and the man fled the store when security confronted him.
The man then allegedly entered a smoke shop attached to the Sobeys, again warned that he had a gun, and demanded money from the cashier.
Police say the suspect got some cash and fled the scene on a bicycle.
No one saw a firearm during the second incident and no one was injured, according to police.
The suspect is described as a white man around the age of 40. He has a slim build and brown hair.
He was wearing a grey hooded shirt, blue jeans, a ball hat, and a medical face mask at the time of the incident.
