RCMP from both Ridge Meadows and 91原创 detachments are investigating robberies that appear to be the work of the same set of thieves.
The two robberies took place early Saturday morning. At 12:15 a.m., a lone male gained entry to the Chevron gas station store in the 20500 block of the Lougheed Highway. After threatening the clerk with a weapon, the suspect stole an undisclosed amount of money and lottery tickets. He then left the gas station in a silver-grey car, possibly a Pontiac Sunfire, which was driven by a female accomplice.
A short time later, at approximately 12:30 a.m. a similarly-described male suspect entered a North 91原创 Chevron station by shattering the locked glass door. He then smashed the front counter glass case with a hammer and took over $400 in lottery tickets, He ordered the attendant to open the cash register, and took the coin drawer as well. The vehicle observed in this robbery was a dark red car,, possibly a Honda.
The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s, approximately 5鈥�8鈥�, with a medium build, no facial hair and dark-coloured eyes. He was wearing a black, or dark blue hooded sweatshirt which had the word 鈥渟hady鈥� written on the front, blue jeans and tan coloured boots. The female accomplice was observed to have long dark hair.
The two detachments have mounted a joint investigation.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop of Ridge Meadows RCMP said 鈥淭here is good evidence to indicate this is the same male and female who are responsible for both robberies, so 91原创 and Ridge Meadows RCMP investigators will be teaming up to solve these incidents. The RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section has been called in to assist.鈥�
91原创 RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said, 鈥淎s always, we look forward to working together with Ridge Meadows RCMP to identify those responsible and follow through with this joint investigation.鈥�
