Niagara Regional Police are investigating after three armed and masked suspects robbed a bank in Wainfleet late Thursday afternoon.
On May 29 at 4:35 p.m., Port Colbourne/Wainfleet officers responded to the Meridian Credit Union on Highway 3 after reports of an armed robbery.
Police say three unidentified suspects entered the bank wearing masks and carrying weapons. One of the suspects was reportedly armed with a handgun, while another carried a large, bladed weapon resembling a machete.
The suspects demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the bank.
The individuals fled the scene in what is believed to be a 2019–21 white Honda Civic with front tinted windows and visible damage to the rear passenger-side quarter window. It was last seen travelling northbound on Highway 3.
No bank employees or customers were physically harmed during the incident.
