An RCMP spokesperson contacted by rdnewsNOW wouldn’t confirm the nature of the incident when asked whether it was a robbery or attempted robbery, only that there was no risk to the public. The spokesperson did confirm that no injuries were reported.

The bank was locked down for a period of time, with no one being allowed in or out until just before 5 p.m.

At the same time as the bank incident, police responded to the nearby River Valley apartment building at 5017 49 Street, though there’s no word yet from police whether the two scenes are connected.
