At 3 p.m. on April 28, the Sunshine Coast RCMP were called to a robbery at a financial institution on Teredo Street. Police arrived within minutes, but the male suspect had already fled with an undisclosed amount of money. Despite an exhaustive search of the area, the suspect was not located.

The man who committed the robbery was wearing a disguise: a wig with almost shoulder-length “scraggly” hair and a bandana on top, sunglasses, a dark jacket with a large, reddish design on the back of it and a black shoulder bag. The male also had facial hair.
