A busy start to the new work week for Calgary Police.
Officers were dispatched to what appears to be four separate smash and grab robberies, in the span of an hour early Monday.
The first was at a pawn shop on 39th Avenue and Macleod Trail South, where someone drove a vehicle into the front doors.
The was followed by similar calls to Holt Renfrew downtown, Bow Trail and 45th Street S.W., and 10th Street and 2nd Avenue N.E.
Acting Duty Inspector Leah Barber doubts the robberies are connected.
“I think that they would have to drive really quick to be the same guy,” she says. “The one on Macleod Trail; they left the truck in the front of it.”
On Saturday morning, a northwest convenience store had it’s front door smashed in, and Friday someone used a truck to break down a door at a southwest jewellery store.
No injuries reported in any of those robberies, and anyone with information is asked to call police or Crimestoppers.
