Armed robbery at Holden ATB
An armed robbery at the Alberta Treasury Branch (ATB) Financial Agency in Holden Monday afternoon resulted in three separate RCMP detachments racing to the scene. Two masked suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of money and the investigation is continuing.
The crime unfolded with the suspects, who had parked in the alley behind the building, walking between the ATB and Post Office buildings to access the street where they entered the ATB office.
Wearing ski masks, one held a hand gun while demanding money. Cst. Kimberley Christensen of the Tofield RCMP Detachment confirmed that cash was taken but the amount is not being disclosed.
Tofield RCMP received the call at 3:28 p.m. Christensen and two other officers from Vegreville and Viking attended the scene along with the Police Dog Service from Sherwood Park and Edmonton Police’s Forensic Identification Unit.
Christensen confirmed that a man parked in front of the building gave chase to the armed robbers as
