This one may be worth more than two-minutes.
 
Police in Manitoba are looking for a man they say robbed a beer store in Russell while in goalie gear.
 
The alleged robbery took place after hours, and no one was working at the time.
 
Jean Betkey, manager of the C-Centre Gas Bar, says video surveillance shows two men entering the store, with one suspect dressed in goalie equipment. Betkey said, she didn't even know about the goalie until she read about it in the Russell Banner.
 
She further added, "I took a thumb drive about one minute during when it happened and released it to the RCMP... I didn't even watch it, I didn't even realize their was goalie equipment involved."
 
This is the second time the store has been robbed this month, the other incident occurring a day before this one. 
 
Betkey also said, "We're going to have to put bars on the windows like Manitoba Liquor Marts have, we don't want to but will have to."
