RCMP are looking for two men accused of attacking a security guard during a grocery theft in Sherwood Park.

At about 8 p.m. on Feb. 7, RCMP said an assault was reported at a grocery store on Fir Street. Mounties said a security guard at the store approached two men who were stealing groceries when one of the men sprayed the guard with what is believed to have been bear spray.

The men ran away. The guard was treated on scene.

Both men were described as being five-foot-eight; one was wearing blue jeans, a black sweater with a white logo and white sneakers.

Any information about the men can be given to Strathcona County at 780-467-7741.
