"These incidents, which have targeted businesses, are of significant concern to the RVIPF. The Force wishes to reassure the community that investigative resources have been intensified, patrols have been increased in key areas, and officers are working diligently to bring offenders before the courts," Police said.

The Acting Commissioner of Police Richard Ullger stated, “Robbery is a serious offence that threatens public safety and undermines the sense of security within our communities. We are asking anyone who may have seen suspicious activity, possesses video footage, or has information relating to any of these incidents to come forward. Even the smallest piece of information may prove critical to our investigations.”
