ONTARIO COLD CASE: On a warm summer after- noon eight years ago, it would take one suspect lit- tle more than an hour to rob four banks, two in Oak- ville and two in Burlington. Shortly before 1 p.m. on July 12, 2010, a lone male entered the TD Canada Trust located at 5000 New St. in Burlington and hand- ed the teller a note indicat- ing he was armed with a weapon. The teller gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money and he fled the bank on foot. Some 15 minutes later, a lone male, similar in de- scription to the suspect in the first robbery, entered the Bank of Nova Scotia at 3505 Upper Middle Rd. in Burlington, again handing the teller a note indicating he had a weapon and de- manding money. The sus- pect was given an undeter- mined amount of money and fled the bank on foot. Shortly after 2 p.m., the suspect entered the Bank of Montreal located at 240 North Service Rd. W. in Oakville and yet again handed the teller a note in- dicating he had a weapon. He demanded money and fled on foot after being giv- en an unknown amount. Ten minutes later, the suspect showed up at the RBC Bank at 1005 Speers Rd., in Oakville. The sus- pect handed the teller a note indicating he had a weapon and demanded money. The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of money and fled the bank on foot. No one was injured dur- ing the robberies. The suspect was de- scribed as male, black, six-foot-one, in his teens wearing a dark baseball hat with a navy and white checkered hoodie and blue jeans. Although the investiga- tion remains open, it is not being actively investigated as Halton police have not received any new leads, ac- cording to Const. Ryan An- derson, media relations of- ficer for the Halton Region- al Police Service.
