An Okotoks business is hoping to find the suspect in a jewellery theft.

According to police earlier this week a woman was in Wild Rose Jewellery shortly after it opened and walked out with gold and diamond jewellery from a display case.

The theft is valued in excess of $15,000.

RCMP say the female suspect is described as being in her early to mid twenties with red hair and glasses and a large scar on her face.

It's unknown if the woman had assistance with the theft as there were other customers in the store during the incident.

Anyone with information regarding the theft are asked to call Okotoks RCMP at (403) 995-6400 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or www.tipsubmit.com.
