Cochrane RCMP is actively investigating an armed robbery that occurred in Bragg Creek this afternoon (December 1).

A lone male entered ATB Financial between 3:20 and 3:30 pm when he presented a gun to the tellers and demanded cash. Once the money was handed over the suspect fled on foot.

The male suspect was wearing a mask, a blue jacket with a fur hood and blue pants.

RCMP believe there could be a connection between the suspect and a red Pontiac Grand Am that was seen in Bragg around the same time.

The investigation is ongoing at this point. If you have any information regarding this incident contact the Cochrane detachment at 403-851-8000  or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
