Clerks injured in convenience store robberies

The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance with identifying a man believed to be involved in four cases of convenience store robberies where the clerks were assaulted.

In each of the robberies, the suspect allegedly enters the store, brandishes a weapon, jumps the counter and demands the clerk open the cash register before ordering them to lay on the floor. After stealing items, the suspect then allegedly stomps on the clerk’s head or neck area multiple times before fleeing.

The incidents have occurred:

  • On Monday, July 24, 2017, at approximately 4:25 a.m., at the Mac's Convenience Store, 2905 14 St. S.W.
  • On Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017, at approximately 3:30 a.m., at the 7 Eleven, 146-920 36 St. N.E.
  • On Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2017, at approximately 3:35 a.m., at the Mac's Convenience Store, 2905 14 St. S.W.
  • On Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018, at approximately 10:50 p.m., at the Mac's Convenience Store, 4100 Marlborough Dr. N.E.

All of the clerks involved in the incidents received minor injuries as a result.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 20 to 35 years old, approximately 5’10” to 6’ tall, with a slim build. He is often described as wearing a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, along with a scarf or mask covering the lower half of his face and gloves.

CCTV photos of the suspect are available on The City of Calgary Newsroom.
