A man wearing a mask robbed the Motel 6 in east Vancouver early Thursday.
The robbery was reported at 12:24 a.m. at the motel, 221 N.E. Chkalov Drive. A female desk clerk was on duty when the robber reportedly wearing dark clothing and a mask entered the lobby, reached across the counter to the cash drawer, withdrew a handful of money, and fled.
No weapon was seen and the clerk was not injured, said Kim Kapp, a Vancouver police spokeswoman. A police dog was called to the scene but was unable to track the robber.
Anyone with information is asked to call Vancouver police.
