Man posed as hotels security during robbery
Red Deer Alberta Canada November 28 2018
A man who impersonated a hotel security officer while he robbed several victims is now wanted by the Royal Canadian Mountain Police.
RCMP said that they are looking for the man who posed as hotel security to commit armed robbery Friday in Red Deer, Alta.
At about 10 p.m. Friday, RCMP said, a man knocked on the door of their hotel room.
He allegedly identified himself as hotel security and demanded the man and woman inside the room open the door “because they were causing too much noise,” police said.
Once he was inside, he brandished what seemed to be a handgun and directed the woman to the floor. He then took their cellphones, a wallet and a small amount of “controlled substances” and took off.
Red Deer RCMP’s major crimes unit is investigating and is asking the public to call 403-343-5575 if they have any information, or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
