Yorkton gas station robbed at knifepoint

A Yorkton gas station was robbed at knifepoint early Tuesday morning.

RCMP say the robbery happened around 2:30 a.m. A man with a knife came into the store and threatened the employee. He managed to get away with some cash and ran away on foot.

The employee wasn’t hurt in the robbery.

Police say the suspect was wearing a mask, a black hoodie and grey sweat pants.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to contact the Yorkton Municipal RCMP at (306)786-2400 or Crime-Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The gas station was the scene of an armed robbery back in December 2015, and was also the location where Jimmy Wiebe was killed while working in June 2011.
