Calgary police are looking for two suspects following a disturbing incident, Friday night, during a jewelry store heist in the northeast.
Duty Inspector Michael Watterston tells 660News, a shot was fired during a robbery at Imperial Jewellers in the 3500 block of 32nd Avenue Northeast.
“The store had actually been robbed by a male and a female,” says Watterston. “A fire-arm was involved. Upon closer examination, and speaking with witnesses at the scene, we were able to get descriptions of the culprits involved. Both were masked. Like I say, our robbery unit was engaged in this one, simply because of (the use of a) firearm and the nature of this particular offence certainly takes it to a different level. In this particular case it wasn’t discharged at any individuals. It was discharged in the store and to property causing damage. But like I say, anytime a fire-arm is discharged, it’s troublesome.”
The incident took place around 6:45 p.m., and it’s not known what the bandits took from the store.
At this point, police have no one in custody.
