Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect that robbed a BC bank earlier this month.
A man entered the RBC bank location on 1st Avenue at James Street in Mission around 9:40am on July 18, wearing a motorcycle helmet, goggles, and dark clothing.
“He pulled out a handgun and demanded money, then left with an undisclosed amount of cash,” said police in a statement.
The suspect fled on a dark-coloured off-road-style dirt bike.
“Fortunately, no one was injured during the robbery, although it was a traumatizing incident for staff and customers alike.”
