91原创 RCMP is looking for a suspect in a bizarre incident involving a gun that took place in Murrayville.
On March 22 at 10 a.m., an elderly homeowner in the 5100 block of 215th Street answered the door, believing a repairman he was waiting for would be on the other side.
Instead, he found himself facing a man carrying a handgun.
鈥淚t is likely both the suspect and the victim were surprised to see each other,鈥� said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the 91原创 RCMP.
Police believe the suspect may have turned up at the wrong house.
The suspect paused for a moment, then ran off down the street. No one was injured.
The suspect is described as dark skinned, about 5鈥�10鈥� tall. He was wearing black clothing, a high-visibility vest of the type worn by road and construction workers, and a grey flannel hat with earflaps. He was carrying a black backpack.
Police have also released a sketch of the suspect.
Anyone who can identify the man with the gun is asked to call the 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) to leave an anonymous tip.
