North Vancouver RCMP are looking for an impeccably coiffed thief who had cut and run after breaking a barbershop’s locks and clipping $3,000 in hair equipment and products.

The brush with the law happened at a business on the 1700 block of Marine Drive in the early morning of Oct. 1, 2024. Investigators combed the scene for clues, but after finding only thin evidence, the RCMP released hair-raising surveillance footage on Thursday.

The video snip captures the suspect’s bare face before he has the foresight to don his face mask and recede out of view.

Anyone with information that could help pin the suspect and gel the police’s case is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file #2024-20085. Those who wish to provide information but want to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
