Oliver RCMP need help identifying man on video surveillance
OLIVER – RCMP are looking to the public to help them identify a man recorded on video apparently taking an elderly woman's wallet off a store counter in a checkout line.
The manager of Buy Low Foods in Oliver reported the incident Jan. 16. In the video, the 78-year-old woman can be seen leaving her wallet on the counter then turning away for a moment at which time the man in line behind her pockets the wallet.

The man police would like to speak to was wearing a red and black bomber style jacket and a black toque. He also had a day's growth of facial hair.
