Calgary Police say they have found and charged a man involved in several cannabis store robberies in recent months in the city. 

Police arrested the man in the early hours of Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024, shortly after he had robbed a Circle K convenience store with a firearm at 1919 Sirocco Dr. SW. Once he was arrested, police discovered he was the same man believed to be connected with a series of seven cannabis store and liquor robberies this past summer. 

Calgary Police released details about the suspect in September, asking for help from the public in identifying the man, who often wore different outfits or disguises. 

As a result, Calgary Police have charged 39-year-old Collin Kizza MUKASA with:

  • One count of robbery
  • Five counts of robbery with a firearm
  • Four counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
  • Four counts of failure to comply with a release order
  • Eight counts of breach of a firearm prohibition

The man remains in custody and will next appear in court on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
