The Oliver RCMP are looking to identify a suspect who allegedly assaulted staff at an Oliver cannabis store before stealing cannabis products.
On Feb. 22 around 11 a.m. the staff at the BC Cannabis store at 5717 Main St. in Oliver reported a male entered their store, and after being denied a refund, assaulted a staff member. The suspect then proceeded to steal several cannabis products.
Police patrolled the area, and collected video surveillance of the suspect.
“We’re releasing (frames from the) video of the suspect to the public as we hope to identify him, and prevent him from committing future offences of this kind in the South Okanagan,” said Const. James Grandy with the RCMP.
RCMP say the suspect is a Caucasian male, 5’10 inches tall with a French-Canadian accent, short brown hair, light blonde facial hair, wearing a navy blue baseball cap, black jacket, dark pants and shoes, with short light blonde facial hair.
If you witnessed this incident, can identify the suspect, or have any other information, you are asked to call the Oliver RCMP at 250-498-3422. Or remain completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
