BURLINGTON, ON September 19, 2011 Sunday afternoon a citizen observed two masked males walking towards the Medical Centre at 141 Plains Road carrying firearms. Before entering the clinic the males realized they had been spotted and fled on foot..
Less than an hour later police were dispatched to 185 Plains Rd E, the location of a Guardian Drug Store, where two masked men who entered the pharmacy and demanded cash and drugs from the employees. The males produced a firearm in the robbery.
 Serious damage was done to the Plains Road pharmacy in October 2010. This pharmacy is believed to be the same one damaged seriously by fire in October of 2010.
At the time Firefighters from the Waterdown Road station, who were on their way to check an unrelated alarm signal, discovered the blaze as they passed the Aldershot Guardian Pharmacy just after 1 a.m. in the morning. The crew attacked the fire and called in additional units.
Damage has been estimated at least $750,000 and the cause of the fire has not been determined. Investigators from the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office has been called in. Pharmacy owner Lisa Vogt, who opened the business in June, says she plans to rebuild her “dream.”
Just under a year later two males rob the pharmacy and take an undisclosed quantity of money and prescription medication and then fled the pharmacy to a pickup truck parked outside. The vehicle left the area eastbound on Plains Rd. The pickup truck is described as green with a white cap, no make or model determined at this time.
The suspects were described as male white, 18-25yrs, 5′-10″ to 6′-0″ft, wearing dark hoodies and dark pants. One male was carrying a blue duffle bag; a dark pistol type handgun was seen by the pharmacy staff.
Earlier this month another pharmacy was robbed at gunpoint.

BURLINGTON, ON July 11, 2011 – The thieves are getting more brazen. At just after 4 am on Sunday, July 10th two thieves robbed the gas attendant at the Esso station on Guelph Line at Derry Road.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken and the attendant was unharmed.
The thieves left in a light blue open box pickup truck.
The attendant was confronted by two males brandishing metal bars and ordered to the floor while the suspects accessed and stole a quantity of money from the cash register.
The two male suspects in the robbery wore dark coloured clothing and masks. One is believed to be approximately 6’1″ tall and the other approximately 5’4″ tall.
Not that many light blue pick up trucks out there and they should have been captured on the video cameras – there were video cameras weren’t there?

BURLINGTONTON, ON June 30, 2011 – The Mountainside community in Burlington was hit with eight car entries. In each incident the vehicles were parked in residential driveways and had been left unlocked. Some of the stolen property included GPSs, sunglasses, cash and wallets. It is estimated $1000 in total property was stolen.
 Leaving a car unlocked – even in what you believe to be a safe neighbourhood is really dumb. If the car is actually stolen – you’ve got some explaining to do to your insurance company.
