Edmonton police are searching for a suspect after an armed robbery at a jewelry store in Capilano Mall on Friday afternoon.
The robbery happened just before 1 p.m., when the suspect allegedly struck a glass case in a jewelry store and grabbed a large amount of jewelry before fleeing the scene in a cab.
“This afternoon we had an armed robbery where a lone male entered into a mall jewelry merchant and produced a hand gun and effectively was able to leave with a large quantity of jewelry,” said Staff. Sgt Doug Fedechko.
The suspect is described as:
- Aboriginal
- In his 20s
- Wearing white pants and a black shirt
- Has a Mohawk hair-cut
Investigators spent hours at the scene of the jewelry store and combing through a cab outside of the mall.
No one was injured in the robbery.
