The hunt is on for a man who police say pointed a gun at a woman during an attempted break in the southeast community of Sundance.

The suspect went to the door Thursday afternoon and told the resident he was there on behalf of an energy company.

She told him she wasn’t interested and closed the door, but several minutes later he rang the doorbell again, pulled out the gun, and said “this is a robbery”.

Instead of going back inside, the woman pushed past the man and ran into the street yelling for help.

The man fled the scene in a newer model, silver 4-door sedan.

He is described as Asian, 25-30 years old, about six feet tall, with a slim build, a clean shaven face, and short hair.

He was wearing a black baseball cap, black sunglasses and a black nylon track suit.

Anyone who may also have had contact with the man, or who has information about the man’s identity is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
