Man Charged After Investigation Into Attempted Robbery in Dodsland

Back on June 7, 2021, Kindersley RCMP responded to a robbery at a bank in Dodsland, SK.

Initial investigation determined that an armed male smashed the glass of the front door of the business after it had closed, entered it and demanded cash before leaving. Employees inside the bank at the time were not physically injured.

Rosetown and Biggar RCMP, Saskatchewan RCMP’s Police Dog Services and Saskatoon Police Service’s Air Support Unit assisted in the initial investigation.
