Barrie Police are seeking tips about a bank robbery downtown.
At 9:45 a.m. Monday, police responded to the Bank of Montreal at 90 Collier Street in Barrie.
The suspect had indicated he had a firearm and demanded money from the teller.
An undisclosed amount of Canadian currency was obtained and the suspect fled, running north on Mulcaster Street and west onto Worsley Street, where he made his way to a nearby City parking lot.
It was at there he discarded his disguise and tried to publicly reintroduce himself in a way that allowed him to blend in better with those around him.
The K-9 unit was called in, but the suspect got away, blending into the crowd near the Public Library.
From witness interviews and surveillance video within the bank, police are able to provide the following description of the suspect who carried out this early morning robbery:
Male white, 5’9” tall, 25-27 years old, medium build, short thin brown hair.
He was wearing an orange coloured medical mask, black toque, dark thick black hooded jacket with black on shoulders and blue on body area, black backpack with logo on rear, blue jeans pants, black running shoes with a white sole.
