Olds RCMP are asking for your help to find suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery at the Rocky Mountain Liquor Store.

Police say the robbery occurred on Jan. 31 at about 11:15 p.m.

"An unknown suspect arrived at the store as the staff were locking the entrance at closing. The suspect brandished a knife and directed the staff to reopen the door. A quantity of cash was taken from the register as well as several small bottles of liquor," a news release says. "The staff were not injured."

When they got the call, police searched the surrounding area with the help of a service dog but were unable to find the suspect.

The suspect is described as a 6-foot 2-inch Caucasian male with a heavy build. He was wearing a black tuque, a brown Under Armour winter jacket, blue jeans, brown footwear, and had his nose and mouth covered by a neck warmer or similar garment.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect walked east and then north of the store toward a residential/industrial area. Vehicle traffic is noted to be in the area at that time," the release says.

If you have information relating to this or any other crime, please call the Olds RCMP at 403-556-3324. If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by Internet at www.tipsubmit.com. You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers, and if you provide information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest(s), you may be eligible for a cash reward.
