Mounties are probing a robbery at a Chinese herbal store on No. 3 Road on Sunday evening.
Just after 6:30 p.m., the RCMP were called to a mall at 4640 No. 3 Rd. after a witness reported seeing what appeared to be a robbery taking place at the store in a strip mall.
When police arrived, they found three employees inside, two who had minor injuries as a result of the robbery.
The injuries did not require hospitalization.
Reports indicate there were a number of suspects wearing hoodies robbing the business and breaking glass.
The suspects are thought to have escaped in a vehicle.
"The mall was fairly busy around the time of the robbery, and we know people saw the suspects and we're hoping those witnesses will come forward to assist in this investigation," said Cpl. Stephanie Ashton of the Richmond RCMP.
"We will have Mandarin speaking officers available to speak with anyone who has information about this robbery."
If you have information about this robbery, contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
