High River RCMP are asking for assistance locating a male in connection to an attempted break and enter.

At 11 p.m. on July 10, a male attempted to break into a condo unit at 608 19 Street SE.

The would-be thief tried the door handle, before attempting to use a broken dipstick to pry the lock open.

The male was eventually scared away by the condo resident, and failed to enter the unit.

They are looking for a suspect who fits the description of a middle-aged male of average size, bald, wearing dark, thick-framed glasses.

RCMP are asking for members of the public who have information to reach out to High River RCMP at 403-652-2357.
