Despite coming on the same day as another bomb threat and following a string of bank robberies in October, Both said this is likely an unrelated incident.

“There is currently no link between the bomb threats or any other robberies,” he said. “We’re investigating this as a stand-alone incident. But, the investigators are not discounting that there might be a nexus.”

Anyone with information regarding this robbery is asked to contact the Medicine Hat Police Service at 403-529-8481.
