CALGARY -

Okotoks RCMP investigators have released surveillance stills of one of two commercial break-and-enter suspects and he brought his face directly in front of the camera.

According to RCMP, a man and a woman gained access to a towing yard in the southern Alberta town in the early morning hours of Sept. 27. The thieves broke into a vehicle and swiped a number of items including tools and clothing.

Prior to breaking into the yard, one of the suspects attempted to disable the security camera of a neighbouring business.

• Being in his late 30s or early 40s;
• Having a light complexion,
• Having a light brown beard; and,
• Having tattoos along his left forearm.

At the time, the man was wearing a cap with a Toronto Raptors logo, glasses and a bandana that did little to disguise his face as it sat well below his mouth.

The female suspect was wearing dark clothing.
