Edmonton police are searching for two men who robbed a northside convenience store late at night almost two weeks ago.

The men entered the store at 118 Avenue and 89 Street at 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 5.

An Indigenous man wearing a black hoodie, a black tuque sporting a New York Yankees logo and blue jeans took out a handgun and pointed it at the cashier, demanding money.

The other man, who was wearing a hooded dark grey jacket, a white mask, blue jeans and a black tuque pointed bear spray at the cashier.

Both took cash from the till, stole merchandise and fled the store.

Both men stand about five-foot-ten. The Indigenous man has a medium build and a light moustache.

Police say the men are considered armed and dangerous, and should not be approached.

Anyone who can identify the men is asked to contact Edmonton police at 780-423-4567 or to call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
