UPDATE: City Police Investigate Back-To-Back Bank Robberies

Police are looking for a suspect after two Sarnia banks were robbed within minutes of each other.

The Sarnia Police Service said a bank in the 100-block of Christina St. N. and another in the 400-block of Exmouth St. were robbed around 1pm on Thursday.

Police say the robberies appear to be connected and have released a photo of a suspect, which can be seen above.

Detective Constable Kent Jamieson said Friday witnesses chased the suspect after the second robbery, but lost track of him in the area of Cecil St.

Jamieson says they're only looking for the one suspect, who was carrying a beer brand backpack at the time.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to contact Detective Constable Jamieson at 519-344-8861 ext. 6221, or Detective Constable Peters at 519-344-8861 ext. 6197.
