Fort St John RCMP are looking for a male suspect after responding to a report of a robbery near the fair taking place in the Walmart parking lot during the last weekend in May.

Police received a report on May 25, a day after the reported robbery, that took place between 10:30 and 11:00 p.m. The victim was walking away from the fairgrounds when three men, described to be in their mid-20’s, charged at the victim. The shortest of the three men then hit the victim in the face, then took an undisclosed amount of money from the victim’s wallet.

The suspect is described as:

  • Caucasian,
  • about 5 ft 5 inches (168 cm) tall,
  • clean shaven,
  • wearing a pink T-shirt and white shorts
  • had face tattoos.

“The Fort St John RCMP believed this to be an isolated incident and do not believe there is any risk to the public at this time”, said Cst. Aidan Finlay, in a release. “To further the investigation, we wish to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time and may have seen or heard the incident occur.”

Anyone that does have any information about this incident is asked to contact the Fort St John RCMP at 250-787-8100, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
