The Redwood Dairy faced an attempted robbery on Sunday morning (19th of January), just after 10.00 am. A man came in asking if they stock band aids, when told no, he left the store but came back shortly afterwards wearing a mask and threatening the man operating the store at the time, Jugvinder, with a metal bar. Jugvinder chased after the offender with a stick, and the man fled. They had CCTV operating and gave the security footage to the police, who arrived 15 minutes later.

His wife, Manmeet said that “They (the offenders*) might be coming from a bad background or they have a sad story from their family or their childhood was something traumatic. That is all secondary … they’re robbing us and it’s not okay.”
