The RCMP are investigating an armed robbery that occurred in Holdfast Friday afternoon.

Members of the Craik and Watrous RCMP as well as the Lanigan RCMP Traffic Services responded to a business in the east-central town.

A male suspect with a firearm entered a bank and demanded cash, receiving an undisclosed amount of money.

He then fled the scene in an unknown direction in an older dark coloured Chevrolet extended cab truck, possibly with another person.

The suspect is described as a larger Caucasian man with brown hair and brown eyes.
