Perfume bandits target Brockville Shoppers Drug Mart for second time in a month

In the early hours of March 16, Brockville police responded to a break-in at Shoppers Drug Mart on Parkedale Avenue, where suspects stole large quantities of high-end fragrances in under two minutes.

Police say that officers responded to the incident at about 4:15 a.m. on Sunday.

A similar situation happened on March 2, when police said $40,000 worth of fragrances was stolen.

Investigation revealed that two suspects broke the window to gain entry, and then loaded “large quantities of high-end fragrances” into bags and fled in a white BMW.

Police say the suspects were in the store for less than two minutes.

As the investigation is ongoing, police encourage anyone with any information to report it to the Brockville Police Service at 613-342-0127 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
