At about the same time, Chase RCMP officers rushed to Scotch Creek after the report of shots fired.

Nothing came of that call, and Sgt. Gary Heebner of the Chase RCMP says the call may have been a diversion, simply meant to siphon officers away from the robbery.

The suspect is described as 5’10” tall, between 180 and 190 pounds. He was wearing a white Fox sweater with a multicolored balaclava.
