Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit are seeking public assistance in identifying a suspect following a bank robbery in King City last week.
On Thursday, Feb. 18, at 4:45 p.m., police responded to a bank robbery in the area of King Road, east of Keele Street. A lone suspect entered the bank and passed the teller a note which contained a demand for cash. The teller complied with the demand and the suspect fled the bank on foot.

The suspect is described as male, white with a thin build, 5’5” to 5”7” and was wearing a black hoodie, black pants, sunglasses, black gloves and a scarf around lower portion of his face.
