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.

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.
