On March 25 at around 4 p.m., the St. Albert RCMP responded to a burglary alarm at Walmart.
A man was in the electronic section of the store and spoke with a employee about iPads. The man tried to distract the employee by making a phone call and then started grabbing multiple iPads and put them into a large bag.
The employee tried to stop the man but the man said he had a gun, so the employee backed off.
The man ran from the electronics department and exited at the back of the store, setting off the exit door alarm.
The man is described as Caucasian, wearing a dark baseball hat, black fall jacket, clear plastic gloves and a medical mask. He had a beard and was carrying two large bags.
The employee was not hurt in the robbery and a firearm wasn’t seen. St. Albert RCMP are asking for the public's help to identify the man involved in the robbery.
