RCMP are looking for an armed robbery suspect who got away with an undisclosed amount of money on a snowmobile in Alix, Alta., on Friday.

Police said they responded to a 911 call at the ATB Financial located at 4914 50 St. around 11:15 a.m.

A lone man wearing a mask and gloves went inside the branch with a long-barrelled firearm and a machete, according to police. He demanded cash and left the bank once he got it, police said.
