Winnipeg Bank Robbery on Corydon Avenue Raises Questions About Urban Safety and Smart Surveillance
In a quiet Monday evening on October 6, Winnipeg police were called to a Corydon Avenue bank after a man allegedly passed a threatening note to the teller and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. The incident, which occurred around 6:30 p.m., ended without physical harmābut not without concern.
Thanks to rapid investigation, officers located a getaway vehicle in a Grant Avenue parking lot. This led them to a residence in River Heights, where a 29-year-old suspect was arrested early Tuesday morning. He now faces formal robbery charges.
