Police in Yellowknife need your help to identify a man caught on surveillance footage stealing from the downtown Independent grocery store.

The man broke a window to get into the store at around 3am on Wednesday morning. RCMP say he got away with “a significant amount of cartons of cigarettes” and hasn’t been traced.

The suspect is described as Caucasian and mid-20s to mid-30s in age.

If you recognize him or have any information that might help, you can contact Yellowknife RCMP on (867) 669-1111 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
