Halton police are scouring  the area around a busy Brant Street intersection looking for a gun.

Police said officers are looking for a firearm one of two bandits who robbed a variety store at the corner of Brant and Prospect Street may have used.

Sergeant Brian Carr said one of the pair waved a knife at a clerk in the 8:25 a.m. robbery and the clerk saw what was believed to be a handgun.

No one was injured and the bandits escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash.
