He made off with the cash, but the man who robbed the Bank of Montreal apparently forgot an important clue at the scene of the crime.
“It appears the suspect left some of his ID behind,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.
Vernon RCMP got a lucky break in the Feb. 18 case when they discovered the suspect’s bank card was left behind at the bank.
While producing a note at the 32nd Street bank, it’s believed the suspect may have accidentally dropped the ID as well.
“When he pulled the note out the identification went with it,” said Molendyk.
Therefore RCMP were able to track down the suspect around 6 p.m. Friday in the downtown core.
But none of the stolen money was recovered.
Denis Lauzon, 45, has been charged with one count of robbery.
According to the RCMP, Lauzon is originally from Quebec but has been staying at shelters in the area.
