"Robber disguises himself as hockey goalie to steal beer in Canada." ( http://ift.tt/1WA1Bac)
Besides the skates, however, there’s just one piece of the uniform this beer thief forgot.
“He was wearing everything but a mask,” Russell police Cpl. Brett Church told the Winnipeg Free Press this week about the incident that occurred the morning of Aug. 15.
Church said the suspect was wearing a ski mask to obscure his face, so identifying the perpetrator might be difficult. The man’s gait, however, might give some clues. Church said the no-good netminder held his hockey stick “in his weak hand… like he’s walking in a goalie stance.” Thus, Church said: “He must be a goalie.”
The official news release about the crime, which was released this week with the surveillance footage, begs to differ, however.
“He may have been a defenseman or forward in disguise as he was wearing jersey #17 — a non-traditional number for goalies,” it said (via the CBC).
^Nice police work!
Oh Canada
