Three robberies in four days have Prince Rupert RCMP seeking suspects

Our original story of this morning has now been updated, to reflect a third robbery on Saturday afternoon.

A pair of armed robberies which took place this past week have Prince Rupert RCMP seeking one suspect for both case files.

The first took place on the evening of Wednesday, April 1st, at around 9:15 when a single caucasian male robbed a convenience store in the 800 block of Second Avenue West.

The second robbery took place on the morning of Thursday, April 2, shortly after 10 AM when what is believed to be the same male robbed the liquor store in Cow Bay.




In both incidents, it was reported that the male was wearing a 'real tree' camouflage face mask, dark green hoodie, dark jeans and black skateboard sneakers.

During each robbery, the RCMP say that the suspect brandished a weapon, demanded money and left the premises with an un-disclosed amount of cash.

The male caucasian suspect stands at approximately 6 feet tall and has a slender build.





















This afternoon, the local detachment also outlined notes on a third robbery, which took place today (Saturday) at 12:20 in the 800 block of 2nd Avenue West.

On April 4, 2020 at 12:20 PM police responded to a report of a robbery to a convenience store in the 800 bock of 2nd Ave W. 

A man described as being 6 feet tall with a slender build wearing blue surgical gloves and mask, black pants, shoes and a black Under Armour hoodie with a crest that had a real tree camouflage design. 

 The suspect produced a knife to the cashier and made off with an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect was last seen heading East toward 3rd Ave W by a witness.
