Police seek public's assistance identifying robbery suspect

The Edmonton Police Service is asking the public for assistance in identifying a male suspect who allegedly robbed a fuel station at gun point.

On Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2020, at approximately 8 p.m. Southeast Division officers responded to the report of a robbery at a fuel station in the area of 90 Street and 25 Avenue. It was reported to police that an unknown male entered the fuel station, pointed a gun at the employee working at the cash register and then discharged the firearm into the shelving behind the employee. The male then reportedly stole some merchandise, exited the store and fled the area in a small silver vehicle.  The employee did not report any injuries.

At approximately 9 p.m. the same evening, officers were called to a personal robbery in the parking lot of a grocery store in the area of 90 Street and 25 Avenue. It was reported to police that a family was loading groceries into their vehicle when they were approached by an unknown male. The male reportedly stole a purse from an adult family member and then also fled the area in a small silver vehicle. The citizen did not report any injuries.

Investigators believe the two incidents are related and may involve the same suspect. As a result, they are releasing photos and a sketch with the hope that someone may recognize the suspect or the vehicle.

The suspect is described as a 5’8” to 6’0” tall male with dark hair. The male was reportedly wearing blue jeans, a black zip hoodie, a black ball cap and black and white sneakers.
