Airdrie RCMP are trying to find a man that stole a purse from HairBenders Salon yesterday afternoon (July 4).

RCMP say the man walked into the salon around 2:00pm, asking to look at products and use the bathroom. The man was able to grab the purse from an employee's storage closet while no one was looking, concealing it under his jacket and then transferring it into a backpack with wheels. The man left the salon on foot.

The purse contained a black wallet, numerous pieces of ID, keys, medication, a padlock and personal accessories.

The man is described as Caucasian, about 6'0" tall with a heavier build and dirty blond hair.

Police say the man was wearing a distinctive outfit and carrying a black over-the-shoulder bag as well as the black and yellow backpack bag. He was wearing black Adidas sandals with white socks, dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a dark leather jacket with a white stripe on the arm.
