Mounties in Eastman are hoping the public can help them get their man after an armed robbery in Beausejour earlier this week.
The RCMP says that on December 29, 2024, at approximately 10:30 p.m., Beausejour RCMP responded to a call of an armed robbery at a business on Park Avenue in the community.
When officers arrived on the scene, the lone suspect had already fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

He was last seen headed northbound on Fifth Street on foot.
It is unknown at this time if the suspect was working alone or if there were others involved.
