Police investigate series of bank robberies in the northeast

Our Robbery Unit continues to investigate three bank robberies that occurred yesterday afternoon and are believed to be connected.

At approximately 12:30 p.m., on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025, a man is believed to have entered the Royal Bank of Canada located at 5445 Falsbridge Dr. N.E. The suspect approached the teller, demanded money, and threatened employees by saying he was armed. He walked around the counter and took an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing the bank. No weapons were observed, and no injuries were reported.

Approximately 25 minutes later at 12:55 p.m., the same man is believed to have entered the ATB Financial located at 50 Saddletown Cir. N.E., where he once again approached the teller, demanded money, and threatened employees by saying he was armed. The suspect walked around the counter, but was unsuccessful in obtaining any money. No weapons were observed and there were no injuries reported.

Five minutes later, at approximately 1 p.m., the man is believed to have entered the CIBC located at 62 Saddletown Cir. N.E. The man walked behind the counter, demanded money from employees and exited the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. There were no injuries reported.

It is believed the same man is responsible for all three incidents.

The suspect is described as approximately 20 to 30 years old, between 5’10” and 6’1” tall, with a light complexion. At the time, he had his face covered and was last seen wearing black gloves, black pants, and a dark-grey hoodie.

Investigators continue to collect evidence, speak to witnesses, and review CCTV footage.
