Robbers flee bank without money

Police are investigating an attempted robbery at a bank in Dartmouth on Friday.

Halifax Regional Police say two males entered the Royal Bank of Canada branch on Tacoma Drive just before 5 p.m. and demanded money, indicating they had a firearm.

The culprits left on foot without getting any money, police said, and were last seen running towards the Sobeys store across the street.

No weapons were seen and nobody was injured in the incident, police said.

A 5:45 p.m. news release said police were still at the scene and were also searching for the suspects.

The suspects were described as wearing sunglasses, dark masks, dark hoodies and dark pants. One of them was carrying a red Goodlife Fitness bag.
