Watch: Burglar in goalie gear steals 2 cases of beer
Oh, Canada.
File this one in the "You can't make this up" department. The RCMP in Russell, Manitoba, are looking for a burglar who robbed a convenience store of two cases of beer while ... wait for it ... dressed in full goalie gear.
It was Budweiser, in case you were wondering, according to Yahoo Sports, citing the Winnipeg Free Press.
Here's how the robbery was described in the local newspaper:
... 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.
If you watch the video, you'll see the thief/goalie leaving with two cases of beer while still holding his goalie stick. He was committed, that's for sure.
If you have any information about the robbery, call Russell RCMP. Seriously.
