RCMP say a man wanted in a violent home invasion in southern Alberta last week may be in Calgary.

Police said a man knocked on the door of a residence in Exshaw at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20. The homeowner answered the door, at which time the suspect forced his way inside.

The victim was allegedly robbed at knifepoint before the suspect took off in a dark grey Toyota Rav4, which was also stolen from the home.

On Wednesday, Canmore RCMP identified the suspect as 22-year-old Jarred Ivan Genaille of Calgary.
