New Westminster police are appealing for dashcam footage and public tips after a reported robbery at a 12th Street pharmacy yesterday (Thursday, July 27).
If you were driving on 12th Street between 2 and 3 p.m. yesterday, the New Westminster Police Department would like to see your dashcam footage.
An NWPD press release notes police were called to a pharmacy on 12th Street at about 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. An employee said two suspects armed with a firearm robbed money and prescription medicine from the store.
"Officers rushed to the area but were unable to locate anyone matching the suspect description," the press release notes.
The major crime unit has taken over the investigation.
“This is extremely concerning for police, and we’re asking the public to help us in identifying suspects,” said Sgt. Andrew Leaver, the NWPD's media relations officer, in the release. “If you have dashcam footage or believe you witnessed this robbery, our major crime unit is interested in speaking to you.”
