The head of our region’s RCMP says they share the public’s frustration that the person or persons behind the rash of recent armed robberies has not been caught.
Â
Kootenay Boundary regional Inspector Tom Roy says they’re also relying on the public and their diligence to report anything suspicious.
Roy adds a criminal analyst is being brought in to go over every aspect of what they know about the four robberies in the RCMP area and the one in Nelson Friday.
Â
Roy says they’re also looking at any possible link to a rash of armed robberies going on in the Okanagan.
On Friday afternoon the suspect fired his shotgun while robbing the currency exchange in Nelson.
