Liquor store worker uninjured in robbery attempt

NANAIMO, B.C. — An employee of a liquor store in Nanaimo, B.C. was not injured in a robbery attempt at the store in Terminal Park. The incident occurred at about 10:25 p.m. on Jan. 10, when three men entered the store and one fired a round into the ceiling from a sawed-off shotgun. The suspects then left the store — possibly with several bottles of wine — and discharged two bursts of bear spray at the worker, the Nanaimo RCMP said in a release. “The employees, while not physically harmed, were left shaken by the ordeal and have been offered police victim services,” the release said, adding that no customers were in the store at the time.
