Armed robbers targeted 12 Calgary cannabis stores in past month: police
Calgary police are continuing the search for suspects involved in a series of violent armed robberies at multiple cannabis stores over the past month.
In a news release Thursday, police said there have been 12 cannabis store robberies in Calgary since Nov. 14.
During one incident, “suspects kicked the store clerk unconscious and brandished a knife,” police said.
Some of the other incidents involved a handgun and a hammer.
