Regina police are reaching out the public for information about six recent business robberies in the city they believe could be linked.
All very similar in nature, each robbery occurred in the early morning hours in late December and early January.

The robberies are as follows:
- Dec. 30, 2017 – 5:53 a.m. – 3600 block of Sherwood Drive
- Dec. 31,2017 at 4:03 a.m. – 2100 block of Pasqua Street
- Dec. 31, 2017 at 4:28 a.m. – 100 block of Albert Street
- Jan. 1 at 3:51 a.m. – 1900 block of Fleet Street
- Jan. 3 at 5:15 a.m. – 4200 block of Albert Street
- Jan. 3 at 5:28 a.m. – 3200 block of Montague Street
The investigation continues and police are asking anyone with information to call them at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
