Victoria, BC – A Victoria man is in custody after an attempted bank robbery in the 700-block of Fort Street this afternoon.
Patrol and Focused Enforcement Team (FET) officers swarmed the neighbourhood after a call came in around 2 p.m. today of a bank robbery – one minute after the robbery was alleged to have occurred. Armed with a description, officers began to look for the suspect, who was described to be sporting a distinct tattoo on the back of his neck.
A short time later, officers spotted a man nearby, who had removed his shirt, but otherwise matched the description. He was taken into custody.
The investigation continues at this time.
