Police said store staff reviewed surveillance footage five days later, and then contacted police.

The suspect is described as:

  • Caucasian male
  • In his late 30s
  • About 167 cm (5’6”) tall
  • Short blond hair

In the surveillance footage, the suspect was seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and white running shoes, he was also wearing an Apple watch, and had a tattoo sleeve on his left arm.

Anyone with information that could help RCMP determine the identity if the suspect is asked to call St. Albert RCMP at 780-458-7700, or call their local police.
