Richmond RCMP has a man and woman in custody after an early morning robbery at a local convenience store.

Just after 6:30 a.m. on Friday, May 23, a convenience store in the 8000 block of No. 3 Road was allegedly robbed by a man and woman who escaped in a stolen car.

The man allegedly threatened the clerk with pepper spray during the robbery, while his female accomplice kept watch.

A sharp-eyed witness got the license plate of the getaway car and within minutes of the robbery, a Vancouver Police dog service officer found a suspicious couple walking near the suspect vehicle from the robbery.

The two were arrested and returned to Richmond to face charges. Charged with robbery, possession of stolen property and outstanding warrants are 25-year-old Harry Nahanee and 32-yearold Abby Warrington, both of Vancouver.
