Shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday, Battlefords RCMP responded to an armed robbery at a local business in North Battleford.

According to a statement released by police, two suspects entered the business and made a small purchase. While the cash register was open, one of the suspects pulled out what appeared to be a handgun and pointed it at the cashier prior to fleeing.
