A bank in Barrie’s south end is closed after officers received a report of a robbery, police said.
Barrie police say at around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, two suspects entered the CIBC bank located at 600 Yonge St.
Police say the two suspects fled the area with an undetermined amount of cash.
According to Barrie police spokesperson Peter Leon, employees and customers were present in the bank at the time of the robbery, however no serious injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
Leon says the canine unit was called in to assist with the investigation and was able to pick up a scent from the bank that extended to the parking lot, suggesting the suspects likely fled the scene in a vehicle.

Officers are now searching for a man, in his mid-20s. He was seen wearing black track pants with a white stripe and a dark face mask.
