Quesnel RCMP have made an arrest in relation to a bank robbery last week
Sergeant Clay Kronebush says a male suspect was taken into custody on Friday.
“Charges have been laid for robbery and wearing a disguise with intent against 40-year-old Branvin McLeod. He is from the Quesnel area and is known to police.”
McLeod is due to appear in court today (Monday).
RCMP were called to the CIBC bank in the 300 block of Reid Street in Quesnel just before 5 PM on Wednesday (Feb 1st).
Kronebusch said at the time that a lone male entered the bank and produced a note demanding money and threatening staff.
He said the suspect made motions indicating he had a weapon.
The suspect had his face covered with a blue surgical mask.
Kronebusch said there was the staff and no customers in the bank at the time.
The suspect then fled the scene on foot, heading west on Front Street with an undisclosed amount of cash.
