A gas station convenience store was robbed early Monday morning in Abbotsford.

The 29-year-old store employee then called police.

He was also wearing grey pants, brown shoes, and a blue-and-white jacket with the hood pulled up and writing on one arm.

The woman is described as Caucasian, 18 to 21 years old, with brown hair. She was wearing a beige jacket.
