6 Liquor Depots robbed in December
Police initially asked the public for help identifying a couple seen on security camera footage after high-end bottles of scotch and whisky were stolen from at least six Calgary stores on Dec. 31.
It's believed the thieves hit at least six Liquor Depot stores in December:
