Apr 4, 2024 | 6:43 AM

Port Alberni RCMP have arrested a 16-year old accused of robbing a liquor store and stabbing the clerk.

Creekers Liquor Store was about to close last Saturday night when video captured the culprit brutally attacking the unsuspecting victim, before stealing liquor from the store and then fleeing the area.

Hours later, police located the accused teenager on the south side of town and arrested him for attempted murder and robbery.

He remains in custody and will appear in court later this month.

The victim was transported to a trauma hospital where she was treated for her injuries.
