Calgary police are asking the public to help identify a suspect linked to a violent home invasion earlier this week in the southwest community of Canyon Meadows.

Around midnight on April 13, two men armed with handguns forced their way into an apartment in the 11600 block of Elbow Drive S.W., police said.

The men tied up the apartment’s resident and stole computers, jewelry and bank cards from the suite. They also took cryptocurrency keys, which allow holders access to digital financial accounts.

The men forced the victim to disclose his bank PINs, then put him in a storage room and fled.

The victim, who sustained minor injuries, was able to free himself and call 911, police said.

A man later used one of the victim’s bank cards to withdraw money at an ATM in Crescent Heights, near the intersection of 12th Avenue and Centre Street N.E. The ATM recorded an image of the man, who is unknown to the victim.
