MISSION — Mounties in Mission are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed the Royal Bank of Canada last week.
According to a statement from police, a man entered the RBC branch on 1st Avenue at James Street in Mission at roughly 9:40 a.m. on Thursday, July 18. The suspect wore a motorcycle helmet, goggles, and dark clothing. He brandished a handgun and demanded money before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash. The offender fled on a dark-coloured, off-road-style dirtbike. Police say no one was injured during the robbery, although it was a traumatizing incident for staff and customers alike.
Police are releasing photos of the dirtbike and the male suspect, with the hope that additional witnesses will come forward to advance the investigation. Police suspect the man had been loitering in the area of the bank well before the robbery occurred. The bank robber was last seen riding away eastbound on North Railway Avenue.
Anyone with dash-cam footage of the bike, or anyone who witnessed the perpetrator or bike before or after the robbery, is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 and reference file 24-8404.
