Okotoks RCMP are looking for an armed robbery suspect who allegedly entered a business Saturday afternoon and got into a physical fight with an employee.
The incident took place around 1 p.m. at Saskatoon Farm, located in Foothills County, police said in a news release. Police said that the suspect was seen entering a workshop and confronting an employee, which resulted in a “physical confrontation.”
The suspect fled in a newer black Chrysler 300 Model S with a broken tail light and Alberta plates, police said, adding that the vehicle was stolen and that its license plate number is A-20015.
The suspect is described as six feet two inches tall with a slim build and light-coloured facial hair. At the time of incident, they were wearing white and black running shoes, black pants, red sweater and a blue vest.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call RCMP at 1-800-222-8477.
Chase Felker, a construction employee at Saskatoon Farm, said he was working at the farm’s Christmas Market when he got an alert on his phone that someone was at his house.
When he got home, he saw a man in his barn with a wood chisel in his hand. Felker and the man allegedly got into a physical confrontation, and the man jumped into his vehicle and tried to get away.
Felker said the man drove away at high speeds, crashing into a couple of trees.
“I just put my phone down. I just started to run home. I was just curious who was in my house,” he told Global News.
“He was rummaging through all my stuff at the time … He was looking for a tool and he had a wood chisel in his hand when he pulls up to me.”
