RCMP are asking the public for help identifying a masked suspect who allegedly robbed a bank in Radium Hot Springs earlier this week.

Police say they were called to the Kootenay Savings Credit Union Branch in the 7500 block of Main Street, just after 10 a.m. on Aug. 1, for reports of a robbery.

Investigators determined the suspect approached a teller at the counter and demanded cash, later fleeing on foot with an “undisclosed amount of currency.”
