Kamloops RCMP are releasing images of the suspect and vehicle used in the robbery in hopes of furthering the investigation.

Police responded to the 300 block of Tranquille Road at around 10 p.m. Sunday, May 29, where an armed man walked into a store and demanded cash and products, according to an RCMP media release. It's believed a dark sedan was used as the getaway car.
