The Merritt RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating an unidentified robbery suspect who made off with a substantial amount of liquor.
In a press release from Cst. Blake Chursinoff, the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 2nd, just after 7:00 pm at the BC Liquor store located at 104-1700 Garcia Street in Merritt, when an unknown male wearing a red and black baseball hat, black/tan jacket, and black jeans stole liquor worth approximately $800.

The alleged male suspect is described as 5’9″ tall, the jacket he was wearing was a raincoat, and he was wearing a Cummins hat with a white “C” on the front.
