Airdrie RCMP are looking to identify a male that threatened Walmart staff while attempting to steal a handful of goods.

RCMP said they were called to the store at approximately 6:15 pm on September 6, after a male suspect attempted to evade Walmart Loss Prevention personnel.

The suspect was unable to leave the store with the stolen items; he dropped them on the floor before fleeing the building.

Video surveillance shows the male to be in his mid 30's, of Middle Eastern decent, with short dark hair, facial hair and a short portly build.

The suspect was seen fleeing the scene in a silver truck.
