Halloween was still eight months away when a man wearing a fake moustache and a brown wig entered the Royal Bank on North Road and demanded a large sum of money last February.
But this week, the Coquitlam RCMP announced its investigation has run out of leads and police are asking the public for assistance in identifying the suspect.
"He is disguised but obviously you can see his face," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. "The investigators have run out of leads and they want to ask the public if anybody out there knows anything."
The suspect is alleged to have demanded money from a teller. When the teller asked for some identification, the man slammed his hand on the counter and made the demand again. The suspect made off with more than $5,000.
He is described as a Caucasian man, 5'6" to 5'8" tall, and wearing a black jacket, a fake brown moustache and a wig.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2011-4683. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go online at www.solvecrime.ca.
