SASKATOON – Police are hoping surveillance photos will help then nab several instrument thieves.
Long & McQuade on 43rd Street East was robbed of two Selmer Paris Series III alto saxophones worth thousands of dollars during the afternoon of Oct. 24.
Police say the surveillance video shows a man wearing a three-quarter length overcoat entering the store around 4:20 p.m.
He then took off his overcoat, hid a saxophone underneath and left.
Around 10 minutes later, a man and a woman entered the store and moments later a second man, wearing a dark coloured hoodie with grey stripes entered.
The second man took a saxophone from the wall, hid it under his hoodie and then left the store while the first two people positioned themselves between the second man and store staff.
The suspect in the first theft is between 44 and 55 years of age with grey hair. Along with the overcoat, he was wearing a black shirt and pants along with dark rimmed glasses.
The first man in the second robbery is in his late 20’s, between 275 and 300 pounds and wearing a white Ecko sweatshirt, shorts and a dark ballcap.
The woman is in her late 20’s to early 30’s, 140 to 150 pounds with reddish brown hair. She was wearing a white sweater and blue jeans.
The second man is in his early to mid 20’s with a light brown beard. Along with the hoodie, he was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, sunglasses and a black ball cap.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
