BRAMPTON, Ont. – Peel Regional Police have charged a 23-year-old man after two bank robberies in Brampton, Ont., this week.
Officers say a man entered a bank Tuesday morning and passed a teller a note demanding money.
They say the bank employee complied and the man got away in a vehicle.
Police allege the man tried the same strategy in a different bank on Wednesday afternoon but the teller refused to co-operate, and the man fled on foot without any money.
