Four banks have been robbed in south Edmonton since October 2023 and now police believe the same suspect is behind all of the crimes.
In November, Edmonton police issued a news release about a robbery at a TD Bank on Ellerslie Road on Oct. 30.
Police said similar robberies were reported Dec. 22, 2023 and Jan. 4 and 6, all in south Edmonton.
The suspect reportedly takes the same steps in each robbery: He wears a disguise — typically a blue medical face mask — and approaches a teller and gives them a written note.

Police said the note contains a threat that he has a weapon and demands money. The suspect then flees the area, and investigators believe he may have taken off in a vehicle. No weapon is produced during the robberies, police added.
The suspect is described as a man between 25 and 30 years old with black facial hair and standing five feet seven inches tall with a slim build (photos below).
