Police search for robbery victim

We are asking for the public’s help to locate a person believed to have been the victim of a robbery.

At approximately 4:40 a.m., on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, police responded to reports of a robbery at the Sirocco CTrain station located on 17 Avenue S.W. It is believed a suspect threatened a man with a handgun on the platform and then attempted to rob him. A witness reported the incident to LRT security and contacted police.

The suspect fled the platform after the incident but later returned at which time they were apprehended by police. The victim has not yet been located. The confrontation is believed to have been unprovoked and we are releasing details of the incident in the hopes that the victim will contact police to provide a statement.

At the time of the incident, the male victim was wearing a green winter jacket with the hood up, black winter pants, black gloves and black shoes, and was holding a green duffel bag with brown leather trim. An image is available on The City of Calgary Newsroom.
