Halifax Regional Police are looking for two suspects after a man was allegedly robbed of his cash and vehicle outside a Bedford bank.
In a news release, police said they responded to a call about a robbery in progress at the TD bank at 82 Peakview Way in Bedford at around 3:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day.
The victim told police he had been at the ATM machine, and was approached by two men as he left the bank.
