"Gypsies" are rife in QUYON


Thieves are being talked about since last week, in the MRC des Collines. The group, whose members look like gypsies, were in stores in the Pontiac, and stole more than $12,000 of merchandise, including a large quantity of cigarettes. The group of five people targetted, among others, the Marcotte convenience store in Quyon. Here, as elsewhere, two of them chatted to the clerk, in English or French with a strong accent, while others seized articles, even going to the storeroom behind. They are also linked to a robbery at a business in Masham and in a nearby residence. "Suspects buy small items, ask for information and maintain the conversation, while others go to work. They can stay up to 30 minutes in a store, "said Martin Fournel of the MRC des Collines Police. The three women in the group are dressed in white blouses and long baggy black dresses. The group always arrives on the scene in a minivan. Police in the MRC are still searching for the group. Most events occurred on 12 and 13 May. One woman had a baby aged less than four months, while another is pregnant.
