INFORMATION RELEASE

On 01/17/20, at about 11:53 PM, an employee from the Liquor Barrel, located in the 5200 block of Glacier Highway, called JPD and reported a robbery. The employee reported that an unknown masked male came into the store. When the employee asked the man to remove the mask, the man pulled out a crowbar from inside his coat and raised it in a threatening manner. The man said he was robbing the store and then chased the employee outside. The employee ran to a nearby residence and called 911.

Video surveillance from inside the store shows the masked suspect pry open both cash registers and steal an undisclosed amount of money, before leaving the area.

Officers arrived in the area to search for the man, but he was not located.

Photos of the suspect, which were taken from the store's surveillance system, are being posted on the JPD Facebook page.
