One man is in custody after an alleged bank robbery attempt in Chilliwack Wednesday afternoon.
The Chilliwack RCMP says it received a report of a robbery near Yale Road and Spadina Avenue around 3:30 p.m.
“The suspect approached a bank teller and handed over a note making a demand for money. The teller complied and the individual fled on foot prior to police arrival. Thankfully, no injuries were reported,” Mounties said.
Fifteen minutes later, police say a 23-year-old man was found and taken into custody “without incident.” Mounties say the suspect was identified using video surveillance footage.
The Chilliwack RCMP says the investigation is still ongoing, and anyone with additional information to share is asked to call 604-792-4611.
