Halton Regional Police, who patrol Burlington and the rest of Halton Region, were called to a robbery in the 100 block of New Street at 11:35 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, according to the police crime map. It was the street's second such call in two days, after one on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
That same Tuesday, a robbery call was also reported in the 100 block of Brant Street. By Lokul's count, that makes Wednesday's the third robbery call in Burlington in the seven days from Nov. 5 to Nov. 11.
The map rounds addresses to the 100 block and lists calls for service, not charges, so it doesn't show exactly where on New Street police were called, and not every call turns out to be a crime.
