Flin Flon RCMP are asking for the public’s help to identify a man who tried to rob a Main Street business while brandishing a knife Jan. 8.

Police say the man entered the business around 9 p.m. Wednesday and approached an employee, who told the man to leave the store multiple times before the would-be robber eventually left empty-handed.

The suspect is described as 5’10” tall and 190 pounds and was wearing a black jacket with “family forever” written on the back, camouflage pants and white shoes.

Anyone who recognizes the man can call the Flin Flon RCMP detachment at 204-687-1423 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be submitted online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
