RCMP are looking for an armed individual who robbed a homeowner at gunpoint last week.
Cochrane RCMP say they were called to a home at Uplands Ridge in Rocky View County in the early morning hours of May 9.
Officials say the homeowner had returned to the property and "interrupted an apparent break-and-enter in progress."
Police say the suspect then threatened the victim.

They are described as:
- Caucasian;
