Police are on the lookout for a suspect, a man in his 20s, who is wanted in connection to a jewelry store robbery that took place on Monday evening.
According to police, a man entered the jewelry store located in West Edmonton Mall during the supper hour on Monday, January 9.
He reportedly began looking at watches, and asked to look at a Rolex watch.
When the watch was handed to him, he allegedly tried to flee the store, but was stopped by staff.
The suspect allegedly then tried to run away again, and a clerk attempted to stop him again – at this point it's alleged the suspect made a threatening gesture towards the clerk, and ran away.
Police arrived a short time later, and attempted to find the suspect, but were not successful.
Investigators are searching for 23-year-old Sterling Cardinal, who is wanted on several warrants – including one for robbery.
The suspect is described as:
- 6'4" tall
- 190 lbs.
- Brown eyes
- Short black hair
- Pockmarked complexion
Cardinal also has a number of tattoos, including the word "Blood" written on his left forearm, and "2 Pac" on his right hand.
