On December 10, 2020 at a little before midnight, staff at the Supreme Convenience store in Port Hardy reported a theft. Staff stated that a male had entered the store and asked for two cartons of cigarettes. When the cashier brought the packs to him, the male proceeded to take the cigarettes without paying and threatened to hurt the cashier if she followed him outside.

Officers were able to obtain a photo of the suspect from security footage as well as a description from the witnesses.
The male is described as:
- Caucasian
- 5’6
