A shoplifter pulled a knife after a Save-On-Foods loss prevention officer tried to nab him Saturday night.
The incident happened at the store at 6720 52nd Ave. about 10:30 p.m.
RCMP allege a man went into the store and tried to shoplift several items. When one of the store’s staff tried to apprehend him there was a tussle in the parking lot. The shoplifter pulled a knife and then fled, leaving stolen merchandise behind. The staff person was not injured.
The suspect was last seen on foot northwest of the store.
