Whitecourt RCMP looking for firearm pointing suspect

Nov 16, 2021 | 1:04 PM

Whitecourt RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in a firearm pointing incident.

RCMP report that on Nov. 3 at around 2:15 p.m., the suspect went to a residence in the 5200 block of 47 Street in Whitecourt. There, the occupant of the residence confronted the suspect. The suspect then allegedly responded by producing and pointing a firearm at the occupant before departing.

Whitecourt RCMP believe the house was mistaken for another residence and do not believe there is a greater risk to the public.

Police are looking for a male between 25 and 30 years old. He has a light complexion, 5’ 10” in height, and weights between 160 and 180 lbs. He has short blonde hair, and was wearing a white sweater and blue jeans.
