RCMP in Shellbrook are on the lookout after an armed robbery a local business Friday night.

According to police, Amanda Pizza was the target of an armed robbery April 27.

“Late Friday evening or early Saturday morning, around midnight, two suspects entered the business in Shellbrook, brandished a weapon and demanded cash from the employees,” an RCMP spokesperson said.

The two suspects fled eastbound from Shellbrook in a red sedan, the spokesperson said, which they believed was driven by a third suspect.

Manager Ron Weir said no one was hurt, though he did not withhold his anger at the incident.

“You hold a gun to my head, I better not ever catch you,” he said. “I almost got them; I threw a 30-pound ice chisel at them when they went out the back door there.”

Weir said he intends to post pictures and video of the incident from the restaurant’s surveillance cameras to the social media pages of Amanda Pizza.

Anyone with information on the robbery was asked to contact Shellbrook RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
