On Monday, May 8, 2023, it was reported to police that robbery had occurred at a retail business on the 1800 block of 9th Avenue North.
Police learned that a male was in the business filling a bag with items. The male then attempted to exit through the front door, but it was locked by staff. The male then struck a staff member who attempted to stop his exit, leaving via the back door.
On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, a male committed a theft at a restaurant on the 2700 block of Avonhurst Drive. The suspect male entered the restaurant and occupied the washroom for over an hour, then came out claiming staff had gotten a past order incorrect, demanding compensation. When he was refused, the male took merchandise without paying, and exited.
