There will be a larger police presence at Brampton’s Downtown Farmers’ Market this weekend after cash boxes were stolen from vendors on two consecutive Saturdays.

Oct. 7 is the last Saturday for the market until next season.

Two thefts from vendors occurred at the downtown market on Sept. 16 and Sept. 23. In response, the City of Brampton has been working with its security officers, Peel police and vendors to increase awareness and safety measures.

“Corporate Security and Peel Regional Police presence is being increased during market hours to ensure the security of vendors and the safety of patrons,” said a statement from the City of Brampton.
