On Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024, at approximately 11 p.m., a lone male suspect entered a cannabis store in the area of 52 Avenue and Terwillegar Boulevard. The suspect approached the clerk, demanded cash, and told the clerk to take him to the stock room. Once he gained access to the stock room, the suspect forced the clerk to assist him in filling bags with cannabis before fleeing the store.
Days later, on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, at approximately 10 p.m., the same male entered another cannabis shop in the area of 66 Street and 42 Avenue. The male reportedly produced a handgun, and the clerk pressed the panic alarm. The suspect fled the shop and was last seen running north along 66 Street.
The suspect is described as a white male between 5’6 and 5’10” tall with an average build and shaved brown hair. In both robberies, he was wearing a fake beard, sunglasses and a baseball hat.
