RCMP are looking for a man who tried to rob the Macklin hotel/bar early Saturday morning.

Early Saturday morning, police say the man, described as five foot eight with a slim build who was wearing black clothing and a mask covering his face, entered the business armed with a long gun and demanded money.  The bar employee on duty ran to a back room and locked herself in.  The man left empty-handed.

Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Macklin is 250 kilometers east of Saskatoon on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
