Police are looking for the man who held up a store in Happy Valley-Goose Bay Saturday night.
The armed robbery occurred shortly before 11 p.m. at the Labrador Mini-Mart on MacDonald Drive.
The RCMP say the suspect had a knife, and demanded the lone clerk put cash and cigarettes in a bag. The worker complied, and the robber fled on foot.
He's described as about five-foot-two and thin.
At the time of the robbery he was wearing a hoodie with black and white stripes and light blue pants, as well as gloves and a balaclava-type ski mask.
The clerk was not injured.
