Winnipeg 7-Eleven robbed 6 times in a day

A 7-Eleven in Winnipeg’s West End had to call police for six separate theft incidents on Saturday. Winnipeg police say they responded to the calls at the 7-Eleven on Arlington Street and Notre Dame Avenue, noting no weapons were used and no one was hurt.

The spate of thefts comes as the convenience giant told two Winnipeg city councillors it may shutter 10 locations due to persistent retail theft.

“Eventually you’re going to create a neighbourhood that you’re not going to like very much. It’s already dangerous on the street. Wait and see what happens when there’s further decay,” Coun. Ross Eadie warned.

Global's Katherine Dornian has more on the ongoing problem of retail theft and what experts say needs to be done.
