Calgary police are searching for two people they allege are responsible for stealing several “high-value” bottles of booze from local liquor stores.
Police said at least six Liquor Depot stores were hit across the city in December 2019:
- Dec. 4 at 11:50 a.m. – Liquor Depot, 120 36 St. S.E.

- Dec. 27 at 10:50 p.m. – North Hill Liquor Depot, 1636 14 Ave. N.W.
In each incident, police said a man and a woman entered the store and removed high-value bottles of scotch or whiskey without paying for them. Officers did not provide a dollar amount of the thefts.
Arrest warrants have been issued for 29-year-old Garion Ronald James Delday (also known as Garrion Tye) and 23-year-old Shannon Delanie Wright, both of Calgary, who are charged with theft under $5,000.
