Police are trying to identify a suspect in “distinctive outfits” believed to be involved in a string of robberies across Calgary over the past two months.
Calgary police says there were six robberies at cannabis stores and one robbery at a liquor store between July 30 and Sept. 24. Investigators believe the same suspect is involved in each case.
It is alleged the suspect would enter the stores and ask about products before leaving with stolen items.
During some of the robberies, the suspect would allegedly threaten employees with a gun and demand cash.
Police have released photos of the suspect (see below) who is described as a 25-year-old man, between 5’9″ and 5’11” tall with a medium build. He has worn various “distinctive outfits” during the robberies, including:
- A black cowboy hat with silver detail on the band, black mirrored sunglasses, a black windbreaker, black jeans, black Sketchers sneakers and was carrying a black backpack.
- A black jacket with neon-yellow and white reflective material, black pants, a red and black toque, neon-yellow gloves, black mirrored sunglasses, black shoes and was carrying a black backpack.
- A black hooded jacket, black pants, black mirrored sunglasses, black shoes and was carrying a black backpack.
- A blue zip-up hoodie, a white shirt, a black and white Calgary Flames baseball cap, beige pants, blue and white runners, and was carrying a black backpack.
