RCMP have released a composite sketch of a suspect involved in an armed robbery late last month.

On Sept. 28, Humboldt and Lanigan RCMP responded to a reported armed robbery at a business in Watson. An employee and a bystander were found to be sprayed with bear mace. The suspect took a purse containing an undisclosed amount of cash, debit and credit cards before fleeing.

Both victims were treated on scene by EMS.

The suspect is described as a 5’9” or 5’10,” adult Caucasian male with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, and a dark hoodie. A mask he was wearing came loose during the altercation making the composite sketch possible.
