At approximately 1:43 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2022, Northeast Division patrol officers responded to a commercial robbery at a pawn shop in the area of 118 Avenue and 46 street. Two males entered the business and robbed it of cash and jewelry. Before fleeing on foot, one of the suspects shot both staff members working there at the time. They sustained non-life threatening injuries, but required medical attention.
One of the male suspects was wearing a white facemask, black hoodie, black toque, and black pants.
The second male suspect was wearing grey pants, red underwear, black jacket, black shoes, tan and black gloves, and a baseball hat with red brim.
“The brazenness of this daytime robbery, and the willingness of the suspects to shoot cooperative employees, is extremely concerning,” says Detective Mike Walkom of Robbery Section. “We really need the public’s help to identify these dangerous individuals so that they don’t cause harm to anyone else.”
The incident was captured on CCTV at the business. You can see a portion of that video, and distinctive jewelry below.
