Airdrie RCMP are asking the public for help in identifying the man who robbed Save-On-Foods this week after telling a clerk at the store that he had a firearm.

According to RCMP Corporal Ronald Bumbry, the robbery took place at the store, located at 1400 Market Street S.E. on Thursday night (January 11) at around 7:35 pm. 

"A male entered the store and stated that he had a firearm and demanded money from a clerk inside.  He then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash."

Fortunately, Bumbry says, no one was harmed during the robbery.  Bumbry wouldn't comment on whether the clerk was actually shown a firearm or only threatened with the suspect having one. 

According to Bumbry, RCMP launched an extensive search for the suspect.  "Our police dog service was also utilized and we were able to search for the suspect but he wasn't located in the surrounding area." 

The man is described as follows:

  • Caucasian
  • Approximately 40 years of age 
  • Tall and thin in stature 
  • Wearing a black jacket with a thick horizontal reflective stripe, Dark pants, black gloves and dark shoes or boots

The Airdrie RCMP are asking anyone that can identify the man to contact them at 403 945-7267.  If you wish to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
