RCMP at TD Bank in Newton in a Bank Standoff with Robber
 

You hear of bank robbery's all the time but rarely do you hear of hostage situation's these days. Hopefully everything goes smoothly for the customer's inside.

Police surround Surrey, B.C. bank after reports of robbery | CTV News

That's crazy, hope no one gets hurt

honestly have never heard of anything like this happening in the GVRD

Told to stay away, but backdoors it...

Welcome to Newton...

Not a hostage situation if no one is being held hostage...

don't think there was ever a hostage
apparently they're looking for the man, who may be armed

if true
how the hell did he get out of the bank
:badpokerface:

Misleading title.

Misleading topic title, please change it.

There's no indication of any hostages involved, for all we know it could be some nutbar with a sharpened stick by himself in the bank refusing to come out.

For all we could know the bank is empty :lawl:

There's a story of a summary going around, I'm pretty sure some people on here gotten it from friends/fam as well. I'd post it but I don't want to mention names of the people that work there

If the story is true, basically the workers outsmarted the robber and trapped him in in a room while they escaped with the customers, he's the only one in the building now

At first when I made this thread it was said there were hostages but I changed the thread title now.

RCMP Emergency Response Team has made entry into the TD Bank at 13650 72 Ave and arrested the male without incident.

as per ScanBC

lol i was thinking...who the hell still robs banks these days
then i realized, surrey.

It's actually very common. Most robberies do not get on the news because the banks do not want bad publicity. Tellers are forced to hand over any money a robber tells them to give them, most write it down and hand it quietly to the teller. If the teller makes a scene they'll get fired lol.

must have locked him in the safe with his back turned..."locked in a room"

interesting...but those must be like small time robberies in small banks with no security right?

but for the most part i meant like, broad day light, gun-toting style type of bank robbery...that just doesn't happen anymore, at least in recent memory.

I don't think heat style movie hostage bank robberies happen too often in real life.

But banks still get robbed all the time. It usually makes the news in Kelowna because we have less interesting news. Usually suspect shows or says he has a gun and demands $, teller hands them the money and off the suspect goes.

I was told there's a bank robbery a day in the Lower Mainland.

I don't always go full potato but when I do I try to rob a bank across the police station

apparently he claimed he had a bomb.

Someone's been playing too much Grand Theft Auto ... or not enough ...

Is Surrey our Florida?

Sources say robber was a south asian male. What a disgrace to my people.
