Two men rob bank Halton police are searching for two suspects following the robbery of the Scotia Bank at 300 North Service Rd. Monday. Police said the robbery occurred shortly after 5 p.m. when two men entered the bank with their faces concealed. While one man remained at the front door, the other climbed over the customer service counter where he confronted two female employees. Indicating he had a gun, the man ordered the two women to give him money. As the suspect was filling his bag with money, the man standing at the door told him it was time to leave. The two suspects left with an undisclosed amount of money and were last seen running north through the parking lot. No one was injured during the robbery. Police are currently examining surveillance camera footage from the scene. The first suspect is described as being dressed in black while the second suspect was wearing a light-coloured top and blue jeans. The Halton Regional Police Service is investigating the robbery and anyone with information related to it should contact the Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-8254777, ext. 2204 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).
