watching Danvers.

The potice had identified him as a
suspect in about six Vancouver rob-
beries, according to North Vancouver
RCMP Cpl. Pete McLaren of the
serious crime section.

The Vancouver robberies includ-
ed banks and businesses.

“It was kind of a joint project
because of information they (VCP)
had and we had (about the rub-
beries).” said McLaren.

Danvers is the chief suspect in
two recent North Vancouver rob-
beries,

Sailor Hagar’s Brew Pub Cold
Beer and Wine Shop, located at 235
West Ist St. was robbed on April 4.

An unarmed man entered the
store and produced a note saying,
“This is a robbery,” according to
police,

The night before, a bicycle-riding
suspect produced a similar note at a
comer store on Chesterfield Avenue
and West 2nd Street in North
Vancouver City.
