Niagara police are looking for a man who tried to rob a gas station in Welland.
Police say the incident unfolded on Sept. 23, when a man entered an Esso Gas Station on Ontario Road around 6:20 p.m.
He approached the clerk and brandished a knife before demanding he hand over the cash in the till.
When the clerk refused, the man gave up and left. No one was injured.
Investigators have called the report a “belated robbery,” and say they arrived on scene around 9 p.m.
In an effort to track the accused robber down, police circulate his photo and physical description.
He is described as a white man with grey and black hair who was wearing a green shirt over his head, grey slip-on shoes, and a yellow, reusable grocery bag.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Niagara Regional Police Service.
