Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man after an armed bank robbery in Markham on March 4.
The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. in the area of 9th Line and Highway 407.
Police said a lone male walked into the bank with a handgun and demanded cash. The teller then complied and the suspect fled on foot.

The man is described as white, 30 to 40 years old, five-foot-eight, was wearing a black mask, a grey hooded jacket and is armed with a handgun.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
