Edmonton police are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a smoke shop on March 22.

EPS says around 7:50 p.m., a man entered the smoke shop near 150 Street and 87 Avenue with a shotgun and pointed it at the cashier.

The suspect then allegedly took money and fled the store in a newer white Dodge Ram 1500.

Police have described the man as roughly 6’0″, with brown hair and a heavy build. At the time, he was wearing a blue t-shirt, blue pants, black high-top shoes with white soles, and a green bandanna covering his face.

Police also note that the man has a full-sleeve tattoo on his right arm.

The man is considered armed and dangerous, and police are warning the public not to approach him.

If anyone has any information regarding the man, call EPS at 780-423-4567, or crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
