An armed robbery in Gasoline Alley on Thursday has police looking for two females who had painted moustaches on their faces.

Blackfalds RCMP said that at approximately 1:50 a.m. the Esso Convenience Store located on the east side of Gasoline Alley was robbed at knifepoint.

Two Caucasian females, of undetermined ages, entered the store brandishing weapons. One female ran up to the till with a knife and demanded the clerk open the till while the other female remained at the door.

Video surveillance was obtained by the RCMP and is being reviewed.
