SALMON ARM, B.C. — RCMP in Salmon Arm are trying to identify the man who robbed a local bank last fall, and have released surveillance images in an effort to drum up more tips.

On October 21, 2019, at about 4:10 p.m., the man walked into a bank on Ross Street wearing a balaclava and carrying a handgun.

Police allege the suspect pointed the gun at a clerk and demanded money. He left the bank with “an undisclosed amount of cash”.
