WHITE ROCK (NEWS1130) – Residents in White Rock who use automated teller machines are being warned to take extra precautions in the wake of two very similar robberies.
RCMP say a 63-year-old man and a 62-year-old woman report being robbed moments after they used ATMs at separate White Rock banks, within blocks of each other.
Both incidents happened at around 9 p.m., and the victims report the suspect was carrying a black gun and concealing his face.
The first heist occurred Sunday at a Toronto Dominion Bank and the second robbery took place on Tuesday night at a Royal Bank.
In each case, a police dog was unable to track the suspect.
He’s described as being slim, six-foot-one, and in his early 20s.
Anyone with information about the robberies is urged to contact White Rock RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
