MISSION — Mission RCMP say they’re looking to locate a man who allegedly threatened to kill a loss prevention officer at a grocery store in Mission in late November.

According to a weekly bulletin issued by the RCMP, Mounties in Mission say a loss prevention officer affiliated with a grocery store in Mission reported being threatened with a knife around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 30.
