Burnaby RCMP is looking to speak with witnesses of a robbery and a hit-and-run last week.
According to Burnaby RCMP, the two separate incidents happened last Thursday afternoon. The first incident, a robbery, took place at about 4:45 p.m. at a pharmacy in the 6800 block of Royal Oak Avenue.
Police say a general duty officer was in the area and observed two people wearing balaclavas enter the pharmacy. The officer was able to arrest one of the suspects as they exited the store. The second suspect fled the scene and investigators are looking for any information that could help identify or locate him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Yardley at 604-294-7922.
The second incident took place at 6:15 p.m. at Kingsway and 19th Avenue. A pedestrian was crossing in an unmarked crosswalk when she was hit by a car, according to Burnaby RCMP.
The vehicle fled the scene before police and emergency personnel arrived, travelling eastbound on Kingsway. The pedestrian was taken to hospital and treated for her injuries, police added.
Witnesses at the scene couldn’t provide much of a description of the suspect vehicle, other than it was a sedan and driven by a Caucasian man, police added.
Any witnesses are asked to contact Const. Hargreaves at 604-294-7922.
