ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Police say a suspect is in custody after customers in a bank in British Columbia refused to obey orders from a shotgun-brandishing robber and tackled him.
A statement from Abbotsford police says a man entered the Scotiabank branch just before noon Wednesday and ordered customers to the floor.
As he threw bags onto a counter and demanded money, police say one customer confronted him and three more stepped up.
The four tackled the man, disarmed him and held him until officers arrived minutes later.
