A male entered a pharmacy, produced a gun and asked for Percocet. The suspect was partially disguised and was not initially identified. This offence was similar to other robberies in other police jurisdictions in the lower mainland. The Vancouver Police and the Burnaby RCMP identified the suspect and arrested him at his New Westminster residence. The accused has since been released by the courts and is bound by a number of recognizance conditions.

While on routine patrol in the area of 10^th and Agnes, a police officer noted the front glass door of the doctors office at 75 10^th Street , smashed out. While investigating this, he observed a male exiting the business. The suspect failed to comply with police commands and was pursued on foot until the suspect attempted to gain entry to a waiting taxi cab, at which time he was arrested. Cover officers arrived on scene and arrested a second male waiting in the taxi with the stolen property (2 computer monitors and a 40" TV.) The taxi driver confirmed he drove the suspects to the location and they returned shortly thereafter and loaded the property into his taxi. A witness observed one male shatter the door to gain entry.The suspects both have extensive criminal records including several B/E convictions. In addition both were on probation for B/E with no tool conditions which resulted in additional charges. Both suspects were held in custody pending court.

D Watch responded to two night shift pedestrian involved Hit and Run Motor Vehicle Incidents, within an hour of each other. The incidents were found not to be related and serious injuries were not a factor in either though both victims did attend the Royal Columbian Hospital. Both scenes were contained and protected for collision reconstruction investigation which was conducted by the C.A.R.T. and Forensic Identification Sections. While one of the cases remains unsolved, the other has resulted in the arrest and recommendation of the charge of Failing To Remain At The Scene Of An Accident against a 20 year old male.
