'Armed and dangerous' suspect wanted by RCMP after bank robbery in Alberta town

RCMP are looking for a dangerous armed suspect following a bank robbery in a southern Alberta town.

A disguised man walked into the Alberta Treasury Branch in Trochu on Thursday at about 11:30 a.m. and took out what looked like an assault-style rifle from a red duffle bag.

The suspect then demanded money before he fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said in a release.

No one was hurt.

"Please do not approach this person as he is considered armed and dangerous," the release said.

Anyone with information about the robbery or the identity of the suspect is asked to call the Three Hills RCMP detachment at 403-443-5539 or contact Crime Stoppers.

Trochu is about 140 kilometres northeast of Calgary.
