Police have arrested a 46-year-old man from Olds in relation to the June 4 robbery of the TD Canada Trust on 50 Avenue.
Rory Alan Jackson is charged with robbery and theft under $5,000 and was arrested June 12 at his home in Olds.
He is scheduled to appear in court on July 8 and was released from custody on June 12.
Police said a man entered the bank at about 3:15 p.m. and demanded cash from a teller, declaring he had a firearm, although none was seen.
The suspect received an undisclosed amount of money and fled the bank on foot.
Police could be seen entering several businesses neighbouring the bank such as A Gallery of Floors, Nutter’s Bulk and Natural Foods and Shoppers Drug Mart following the robbery.
One business told the Olds Albertan police were asking for any surveillance footage from the time of the robbery and Peden said making inquiries at neighbouring businesses is a normal part of such an investigation.
One officer was observed talking to a young man on a bicycle wearing a black hooded sweatshirt on 51 Street shortly after the incident at the bank took place.
The officer searched the young man’s bag and then allowed the man to leave.
Several customers leaving the bank after the incident said they did not see or hear anything at the time of the reported robbery.
Police said no one was injured during the robbery and members of Chinook Arch Victims Services attended to the bank to assist anyone in need.
A security guard hired by the bank for a temporary period was present outside the branch in the days following the robbery.
