Most Canadian Heist Ever: Guy In Hockey Goalie Gear Robs Beer Store

This is surreal.
|

RCMP in Manitoba are on the hunt for two people who pulled off a beer store heist in the community of Russell.

One of the suspects had a hockey stick and was apparently dressed as a hockey goalie.

In surveillance footage from Aug. 15 posted on YouTube, the men are seen smashing a door and walking into the store to steal a bunch of beer.

Police said the one suspect may have been "a defenceman or forward in disguise as he was wearing jersey #17 — a non-traditional number for goalies."

"Anyone with information about this theft or has played against a goalie matching this description is asked to call Russell RCMP," the RCMP added.
