Manitoba man robs beer store in full goalie gear

In what may be the greatest hockey-related crime of all-time, a man dressed in full goalie gear robbed a beer store in Canada.

News about the larceny, which occurred on August 15, was published in a local Canadian newspaper, with a headline of “Hockey night at the Russell Beer Store.” It gets funnier.

The newspaper clipping reads:

August 15th – 2:45AM

“A break in occurred again at the Russell C-Store Beer Vendor. The video surveillance caught a man entering the store wearing a ball cap and his face covered. Shortly after… a goalie, yes a goalie, entered the store to assist the first man in carrying away several cases of beer. He was described as having a medium build, wearing goalie pads, blocker and trapper, and carrying a goalie stick. He was ready to play. Too bad there weren’t any refs, as they would have thrown this thieving goalie in the penalty box for a while! The RCMP have never seen a disguise like this before! Police are reviewing surveillance and investigations are ongoing.

On Friday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police released the security video of the Russell, Manitboa robbery and it’s greater than you could have even imagined.

The YouTube is entitled: #17 in your program but #1 on the Russell Manitoba RCMP wanted list.
