Abbotsford police are on the hunt for a suspected bank robber who allegedly held a teller at knifepoint.
Police said it happened on Sunday, just before 12:30 p.m. near the Sevenoaks Shopping Centre on South Fraser Way.
According to investigators, a man entered the bank and showed a note and a knife to a teller before jumping the counter and demanding money.
He then held the knife to the neck of a 40-year-old female teller to force her to comply before fleeing on foot, police said.
Investigators said the woman was unhurt, but badly shaken by the experience.
Police describe the suspect as a Caucasian man, between the ages of 30 and 40.
He is about 5’10” tall with a medium build, and was wearing a green shirt, light-coloured jeans, and a baseball cap with the letters “SPC” on it.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Abbotsford police.
