CALGARY -- Authorities need the public's help to identify a male suspect in connection with an armed robbery in Trochu, Alta. Thursday morning.

Officers were called to the Alberta Treasury Branch (ATB) in the central Alberta community at about 11:30 a.m. for reports of a robbery.

They were told a masked man entered the vestibule of the bank and took a firearm out of a duffel bag.

He then went into the bank, pointed the gun at a teller and demanded cash.

The suspect fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.
