Kings District RCMP investigating back-to-back robberies
Kings District RCMP is investigating two robberies that occurred yesterday morning in the Annapolis Valley.
On December 2, at 10:16 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of a robbery at a convenience store on Hwy. 1 in Aylesford. Officers learned that a man had entered the store, demanded money, and caused property damage before fleeing the scene.
A short time later, at 10:44 a.m., RCMP officers responded to another robbery at a pharmacy on Commercial St. in Berwick. A man fled that location with lottery tickets and cigarettes.
In both incidents, the lone male suspect was wearing a black hoodie with white lettering, black jeans and a black motorcycle helmet with a tinted visor. He left both the convenience store and the pharmacy on a black and red motorbike.
No weapons were seen during the robberies and no injuries were reported.
The Nova Scotia RCMP’s General Investigation Section, Police Dog Services and Forensic Identification Services attended and processed both robbery scenes. The investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Kings District RCMP at 902-765-3317. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or use the P3 Tips App.
