Peel health centres robbed in spree

Thieves targeted medical centres and other health care facilities across the region at the weekend in a spate of robberies which police believe were most likely linked.

Mandurah senior sergeant Dean Snashall said two medical centres in Mandurah, a medical centre in Erskine, a dentist and chiropractor housed together in Falcon, medical centres in Rockingham and Pinjarra and a real estate firm in Secret Harbour were all targeted on Saturday night.

He said thieves made off with cash and, in most instances, safes had been tampered with, but could not be opened.
