The 撸奶社区RCMP has released more information about the bank robbery and officer crash that occurred in late April.

In an RCMP news release on 23 April, police reported that early that day, Mounties received a report of a motion alarm going off at the 撸奶社区Savings bank on Pemberton Avenue.

The police officer who went to investigate found a broken window and saw a man carrying items leaving the bank through the window, according to police.

The officer called for immediate backup.

While driving a police cruiser鈥攚ith lights and sirens on鈥攖o the scene to assist, a second officer crashed into a median, police said.

"Due to heavy rainfall and puddling in the streets, while making the turn on Cleveland Avenue, the cruiser hydroplaned and collided with the centre median, causing significant damage to the vehicle," the release stated.

The officer was able to leave the crash, get to 撸奶社区Savings and help the first officer arrest the suspect.

The second officer then went to the hospital to be assessed and was later released.
