Halton Regional Police were called to a reported robbery on Guelph Line in Burlington at 1:05 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13. By Lokul's count, it was the sixth robbery reported publicly in the city in seven days.
The call appears on the police crime map, which rounds addresses to the 100 block, so the exact spot on Guelph Line, one of Burlington's main north-south roads, isn't given. Police say the map lists calls, not charges, and not every call turns out to be a crime.
The same day, a robbery at a Burlington jewelry store was reported. It was the second jewelry store robbery reported that week: on Tuesday, Nov. 10, a robbery was reported at Kris Jewelers on Brant Street, one of three reported in the city that day. New Street saw reported robberies on back-to-back days, Tuesday and Wednesday.
