KAMLOOPS — Police are looking for a man who robbed a movie rental store in Kamloops last night.

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect who robbed Movie Mart in the 300 block of St. Paul Street, according to an RCMP media release.

RCMP say around 8:50 p.m. yesterday, Jan. 10, a man entered the store with his face covered and carrying a knife. He jumped over the corner and told the employee to open the cash register.
