While on patrol (during) the night of March 31, Officer Guo Jun-hong (郭俊鴻) spotted a woman standing at the door of a convenient store in Yehliu, the report said. Guo felt something was not right and went to question her.

Should "during" be removed from the sentence?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
It doesn't have to be removed, neither is it required.

@Sturgis,
Thanks, Sturgis.

Does it mean that "during" is optional?

Yes.

I apologize for neglecting to indicate this.

It's a typo. It should be "convenience store".
