Prince George police have released a photo of a gas station robbery suspect taken at the scene of the crime which reveals a unique tattoo they hope will result in an arrest.

The robbery occurred on Tuesday, April 2nd just after 4 p.m. at the gas station/convenience store in the 1800 block of 20th Avenue.

A  young man dressed in a white hoodie with the hood tied tightly to his face came into the store and robbed the clerk of the cash contained in the till.

The surveillance camera shows what appears to be large round tattoo that borders most of the back of the suspect’s right hand.

The sole employee at the store at the time of the robber was not injured.
