Rash of armed robberies have Battlefords RCMP concerned
A recent rash of incidents involving violence and weapons has members of the Battlefords RCMP concerned.
Last week, two businesses were victims of armed robberies in North Battleford and police are asking for the public’s assistance to find those responsible.
“It’s always a concern when we (RCMP) are dealing with armed robberies especially people using any kind of weapon or violence,” said Cpl. James Fenrich of the RCMP.
On Wednesday, Sept. 20, two suspects walked into a local business armed with an axe and bear mace and confronted a store employee. The thieves fled after stealing multiple packages of cigarettes.
