RCMP have released photos of a suspect after a driver was carjacked earlier this week at a Lake Louise gas station.

Mounties say on Tuesday, just after 7 am, Lake Louise RCMP responded to a report of a carjacking.

The victim was at a gas station in Lake Louise and was preparing to fuel her vehicle when she was approached by the suspect.  The suspect asked for cash and when the victim did not have any, the suspect produced an edged weapon, pulled the victim out of the vehicle, and took off with the vehicle.

Police say the victim was not injured.

The suspect is described as:

  • Wearing a beanie style hat, dark coat with a hood, blue jeans and dark coloured shoes with white soles
  • Light complexion
  • Dark and grey scruffy facial hair
  • Approximately 40-50 years old
  • Dishevelled in appearance
  • No visible tattoos
  • Possibly under the influence of drugs

The stolen vehicle is a dark grey 2009 Ford Escape with Alberta licence plate CML 9437. The vehicle had black steel wheels with no hubcaps and the rear wiper is broken and stuck in the upright position.
