The Calgary Police are asking for help locating two men believed to be involved in a pair of robberies, and one of the suspects has Canada-wide warrants.
On Sunday, March 9, at roughly 12:30 a.m., a suspect entered Jerry's Smoke and Vape located at 504, 506 17 Ave. S.W. in Calgary.
The suspect approached the counter, threatened an employee with a firearm and demanded merchandise.
He then fled the shop with several products and entered through the passenger side of a 2017 white Ram 1500 pickup.
The driver of the truck then proceeded to drive west along 17 S.W.
After examining CCTV footage, a second person was identified as being present in the vape shop during the robbery, and the Calgary Police Service (CPS) believe this second person was associated with the incident.
The Calgary Police are asking for information on the identity of the second person involved in the incident.
This individual is described as being approximately 25 to 35 years old, between 5'11'' and 6'1'', tall, medium build, and has a small amount of dark facial hair.
He was last seen wearing a black LA Dodgers baseball hat, black pants, light-coloured shoes, and a dark green hoodie.
Roughly 15 minutes after the robbery at the vape store, at 12:45 a.m., the first suspect in the vape store robbery is believed to have robbed a person outside of the BMO located at 933 17 Ave. S.W.
The victim had just used the ATM at the bank.
The suspect demanded the victim's money and cell phone and threatened the victim with a firearm.
After a small struggle between the suspect and the victim, the victim was able to get away from the suspect safely.
At that time, the suspect took off in a 2017 white Ram pickup that had been waiting and drove south on 9th Street S.W.
An officer was flagged down by the victim shortly afterwards and reported the incident.
After the Calgary Police Service Robbery Unit took over the investigation, they identified the first suspect as 36-year-old Matthew Kyle Reynolds.
Reynolds is wanted on Canada-wide warrants, which include robbery, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, carrying a concealed weapon, and uttering threats in relation to these robberies.
He also has a warrant for theft under $5,000 in relation to an unrelated incident.
CPS believe Reynolds is originally from Saskatchewan and is described as being 6 feet 5 inches tall, approximately 230 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
It is believed Reynolds is associated with a 2017 white Ram 1500 pickup.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Reynolds or information on the identity of the second suspect is asked to contact the police at 403-266-1234.
CPS is advising not to approach either man if seen and to call 9-1-1 immediately.
