A 29-year-old man is in custody after robbing a bank late last week.
The robbery happened on Friday, just after 3:30 p.m. in a bank in the 200 block of Portage Avenue.
Winnipeg police said in a press release that the man went into the bank with a handwritten note that said he was carrying a weapon and demanding money.
He was able to flee with an undisclosed amount of money. No weapons were seen, and no injuries were reported.
Officers were contacted a short time later, and after a quick investigation, they located the man on a transit bus that was stopped at Portage Avenue and Colony Street.
He was arrested without incident. No weapon was located.
The Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation.
The 29-year-old suspect has been charged with robbery. He remains in custody.
