The suspect is described as 6’1″ and possibly Aboriginal. He had shoulder length black hair and brown eyes, a moustache, a long, thin nose and scarring on his face. He was also wearing a blue and black Chicago Cubs ball cap and a black jacket with jeans.

Anyone who could help identify him is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
