A Squamish woman was taken into police custody in the early hours of Tuesday, Oct. 12 in connection with a string of recent Sea to Sky robberies, which RCMP suspect she was involved in.
One of those incidents allegedly occurred in Whistler at around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 3, when a woman in her late 20s to early 30s entered a business located in the 4300 block of Northlands Boulevard. She reportedly stole approximately $650 in cash from a register and the establishment’s back room, police said.
Police managed to obtain DNA samples from the scene that will be analyzed as the investigation continues. RCMP described the suspect as having dark, shoulder-length hair and said she was wearing all-black clothing during the Oct. 3 theft.
According to Whistler RCMP Cpl. Nate Miller, police had been investigating following “three or four” recent break-and-enter incidents affecting Squamish businesses. “Through their CCTV footage, [police determined that] this is a viable suspect,” he explained.
Whistler RCMP ask anyone with any information about the incident to call the detachment's non-emergency line at 604-932-3044.
