The Ottawa Police Service has requested that the Crime Stoppers’ Organization seek your assistance in identifying the suspect involved in a recent bank robbery in Blackburn Hamlet.
On April 4, 2007 at about 10:30am in the morning a lone black male entered the Bank of Montreal located at 2666 Innes Rd in Blackburn Hamlet. When the male saw that there were no other customers in the branch he approached one of the tellers and produced a note indicating that he was about to rob the bank and that he was armed. In response the teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money to the thief from her till. The thief then proceeded to walk calmly out of the bank.
The staff of the bank called the police who searched the area on their arrival but were unable to track down the suspect.
