RCMP looking for suspect in Canmore-area home invasion, robbery

Canmore RCMP are hoping the public can assist in locating a suspect in a home invasion where a weapon was used and the man took off in a stolen car, police said in a release Saturday.

Police responded to an Exshaw home Thursday just before 11 a.m.

The homeowner said a man had forced his way into the resident and produced an "edged weapon."

He allegedly stole personal items from the home and left in the homeowner's car, a dark grey Toyota Rav4.

The stolen vehicle was located north of Morley a short time later.

The suspect is described as an Aboriginal man about five-feet-ten-inches tall with an average build, short black hair and brown eyes. He was clean shaven, wearing a black hoodie, baggy jeans and black running shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Canmore RCMP at 403-678-5516 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
