The Calgary Police Service is asking for help from the public as the agency attempts to identify a man believed to be responsible for four bank robberies in northeast Calgary in 2017.

During the robberies, the suspect approached a teller and produced a note demanding money. The employee complied in all four instances and the suspect fled without incident and with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect in the four robberies is described as:
