The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is seeking the public’s assistance in locating two suspects following multiple robberies of the same cannabis store in central Edmonton.

On October 17, 2024, at 8:11 pm, a masked male armed with a firearm robbed a cannabis store in the area of 105 Street and 107 Avenue.

On Nov. 11, 2024, at 5:40 pm, the same male suspect, this time with a female suspect, robbed the same store. After the robbery, the suspects both fled northbound on a bicycle.

In both robberies, the male suspect asked about cannabis products before demanding cash from the till.

The male suspect is described as 5’5” and thin. He was possibly wearing a ring on his left ring finger.

During the first robbery, on October 17, 2024, the male suspect was reportedly wearing a pink wig and a full-face mask. During the second robbery, on November 11, 2024, the male suspect was described as wearing a clown mask. The female suspect was reportedly wearing a plaid jacket, black ball cap and black “Nike” sneakers.

Such robberies have happened in the past. In October 2024, EPS made a similar request for help identifying a man in a fake beard robbing cannabis stores. In June, EPS said they were looking for two other suspects in a cannabis store robbery.

Last November, Calgary Police needed help identifying a suspect related to cannabis store robberies in Edmonton and Calgary. Calgary later identified suspects in that string of cannabis store robberies.

In December, Police in Ontario also arrested a man in connection to a cannabis store robbery.

In January 2025, police in Quebec arrested a man following a robbery at an SQDC location in Saint-Georges. Later that month, one man was arrested, and $3,000 in cannabis products were recovered following multiple break-and-enters in Windsor. 

Two Ontario men were arrested in two different cannabis store break-ins in one day in January, as well.

In January, Winnipeg Police asked for help finding two suspects in an armed cannabis store robbery, as well.

Cannabis stores in Canada continue to be targets for robbers and burglars. Ontario cannabis retailers have recently expressed their frustration following a recent string of robberies.
