Calgary police continue to seek help identifying a man they believe was involved in at least one bank robbery.
At around 6 p.m. on March 1, a man wearing a mask entered an RBC Royal Bank location in the city’s Sunridge neighbourhood, at 2929 Sunridge Way Northeast.
Police said he handed a note to a staff member and gestured that he had a weapon. As the staff member was working to comply with the “robbery note,” police said the man suddenly stepped away from the teller wicket and fled the bank without any money and prior to police arrival.
