NANAIMO — An attempted bank robbery like something out of a movie was thwarted by the rising sun and loud noise.
Two people, one of which is believed to be a woman, were seen by security cameras outside the north Nanaimo Scotiabank between roughly 3:45 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2.
RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said the two tried to break into the night deposit box at the bank, possibly with an electric drill or saw.
They managed to create a 12 inch by eight inch hole but weren’t successful in stealing any money.
