Police in Ottawa and Kingston are looking for two men they believe robbed a bank in each of their cities in the same day earlier this week.

On Nov. 12, just after 10 a.m., according to Ottawa police, two “heavily disguised” men, each armed with a handgun, entered a CIBC on City Park Dive, went behind the counter and stoled an undisclosed amount of money in a grey, possibly camouflage backpack.

The two men fled the scene in what Ottawa police believe to be a black Toyota C-HR crossover.

Just two hours later, Ottawa police believe the two men also robbed a bank in Kingston.

On Tuesday, Kingston police say a man armed with a gun robbed the CIBC at Gardiners Road and Taylor Kidd Boulevard around 12:30 p.m. Kingston police say the suspect also fled in a Toyota Crossover, which was driven by another driver.
