On Oct. 6, the Sunshine Coast RCMP responded to a report of an attempted theft and threats at the Blackfish Liquor Store in Gibsons. The store employee told police that the male suspect had concealed a bottle of liquor down his pants and attempted to walk out of the store. The employee confronted the suspect and seized the bottle from him.
The suspect left the store; however, he returned minutes later when he then threatened the employee with physical harm if he called police. The suspect is described as Caucasian, in his early 20s, with a thin build and wearing a black hoodie, black baseball cap and black sweatpants.
Anyone with information on this or any other criminal incident on the Sunshine Coast is asked to contact the Sunshine Coast RCMP at 604-885-2266 or BC Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS-8477.
