Investigators say both the King Street West and Parkedale Avenue Shoppers Drug Mart locations have been hit by similar crimes in recent years
Brockville police are investigating a break and enter at the Shoppers Drug Mart on King Street West early Tuesday morning, October 22. Officers responded around 4 a.m. after an alarm went off at the downtown store.
Police say four suspects smashed a window to get inside. They were dressed in dark clothing, wearing hoodies and balaclavas to hide their faces. Once inside, the group targeted the cosmetics section, breaking into a glass cabinet to steal high-end fragrances.
The suspects took off in a vehicle within minutes, leaving behind significant damage. The estimated value of the stolen merchandise is about $15,000, though police are waiting for a final inventory from the store to confirm the total loss.
