$800 worth of booze stolen from B.C. Liquor Store, police say

The Merritt RCMP released these photos, showing a man alleged to have stolen a significant amount of alcohol from a liquor store.

Mounties in the B.C. Interior are asking for help identifying a man they allege stole $800 worth of alcohol from a liquor store.

Officers were called to the B.C. Liquor Store at 1700 Garcia Street in Merritt around 7 p.m. on Dec. 2, according to authorities.

“Merritt RCMP officers quickly attended the area and completed a search of the region surrounding the establishment but no one matching the description was located,” the statement from the detachment said.

“Unfortunately, all investigational leads to identify the male has not produced results and we are now asking the public to assist us in identifying this male so that he can be arrested and brought before the courts,” a spokesperson wrote.

Police released two photos Monday and are asking anyone who recognizes the man to call 250-378-4262.
