There may be a delayed penalty coming for a wannabe goalie in Russell, Man.

RCMP in the Parkland community are investigating an alleged robbery at a local beer store earlier this month, and said video surveillance showed one of the suspects was wearing hockey goaltender equipment during the heist.

Information appearing in the Russell Banner’s RCMP report stated the C-Store Beer Vendor at the Russell Inn was robbed around 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 15. According to the local detachment, video footage showed a man entering the store with his face covered by a baseball cap.

That’s when, according to RCMP, a goalie trailed behind to pick up an assist.

Police said a man wearing goalie pads, a blocker and a trapper, and carrying a goalie stick, arrived after the first suspect and allegedly began helping him carry away “several cases of beer.”

“The RCMP have never seen a disguise like this,” the report in the Banner read.

The video is still under review by the RCMP, who continue to investigate.
