“(Two robbers) vaulted the counter and confronted the employees, demanding money,” Peel cops said of the bank job, adding the bandits fled with “a quantity of cash” in a stolen Kia Forte.

Peel police said the same tactic was employed an hour later during a commercial robbery where tobacco, vape products and cash were stolen.

A day earlier, the armed bandits allegedly struck at a Toronto bank, using the same getaway vehicle but they were forced to abandon the robbery because the door was locked.

In Halton Region, holdups at banks have become such a concern that police created a robbery task force in January.

On Feb. 7, Halton cops revealed there had been eight bank robberies in the preceding eight weeks.

Last week, they seized two loaded handguns and arrested three men for a series of armed robberies.

Those incidents include the gunpoint theft of a Dodge Durango in Georgetown on Dec. 28, 2019, and an attempted robbery at a BMO in Milton two days later.

At the time, Halton cops said three masked men attempted to enter the BMO but were “deterred as the interior doors were locked.”

The same masked bandits allegedly struck again at RBC branches in Milton on Jan. 22 and in Georgetown on Jan. 28, demanding cash from staff at gunpoint.

Malcolm Omotosho, 18, of no fixed address, Tyriq Brooks, 21, of Mississauga, and Oliver Rose- Mighty, 23, of Mississauga, are charged in connection with the robberies.

A fourth suspect — Nathaniel Mascoll, 21, of no fixed address — was previously arrested on Jan. 23 in Barrie.
