Officers began an investigation Jan. 15 after a man brandished a knife and demanded cash from two businesses in Vancouver — the same day there were five robberies in Richmond.
The first Vancouver incident occurred at around 6:45 pm at the Marine Gateway Liquor Store, near Southwest Marine Drive and Cambie Street. The robber fled before getting any money. About half an hour later, a man entered the London Drugs at Granville and Georgia streets and demanded cash.
Police are looking for a man described as white, 25-to-35 years old, with short hair and either a mustache or full beard. He was wearing a black puffy jacket, a white T-shirt and dark pants.
Anyone with information should contact VPD investigators at 604-717-2541.
