An attempted robbery occurred at a business on the Highway 16 Bypass and Battleford Road Monday, according to Battlefords RCMP.
RCMP were told a van pulled up outside the business and a woman entered the store, using the pay phone. She then left the store and a second woman entered armed with a knife and wearing clothing to mask her face.
The woman with the knife demanded cash. The store clerk refused and advised the police had been contacted. The woman fled from the store before police arrived.
