Two kids are accused of wearing masks and using a knife to hold up a Cole Harbour convenience store at lunch time Thursday.

They got away with cigarettes and cash from Lovett’s General Store.

Up the street on Loon Lake Road, police arrested a 14-year-old girl from Cherry Brook and a 15-year-old boy from Westphal.

They’re already out of custody, due in youth court another day.
