EDMONTON – Edmonton police are looking for a man they believe is responsible for several armed robberies in recent weeks.
Police have released surveillance images of a man they believe robbed three financial institutions in January.
The first robbery happened in Edmonton near 42 Avenue and Calgary Trail at about 12:20 p.m., Friday, Jan. 2. The suspect reportedly showed two bank employees a gun and demanded cash. The tellers gave the suspect money, before he fled the scene.
The next day, police believe the same man robbed an ATB in the Bower Place Shopping Centre in Red Deer. Red Deer RCMP received a report that a suspect had entered the bank and demanded money from a cashier while displaying a gun.
Then on Saturday, Jan. 17, a man robbed a financial institution in Camrose. He demanded money from an employee at gunpoint.
Edmonton police believe the same man is responsible for all three robberies. In each one, the suspect covered his face with a balaclava.
The suspect is described as being a Caucasian male, in his 40’s, 5’5″ to 5’8″ in height with a thin build. He wears silver-framed reflective glasses and speaks with a raspy voice.
