Police say the robberies started on Feb. 20, and continued until Stanton and Traviss were arrested on Mar. 13.

Officers later searched a storage locker in Coquitlam and found a treasure-trove of stolen property, including cigarettes, vaping supplies, video games, gaming consoles, lottery tickets, and guns, some of which had illegal modifications and filed-off serial numbers.
