According to police, the robbery took place at the Royal Bank on Cooper Road, just before 3 p.m. Police say the suspect calmly entered the bank, approached a wicket and produced a note to an employee, which demanded money.

He was last seen wearing a pair of black sweat pants, a black baseball hat with a white emblem, a light grey jacket and carrying a green re-usable bag.
“We are turning to the general public for their help identifying our robbery suspect,” said RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “We urging anyone who may recognize this man to come forward immediately to speak with our investigators.”
