On January 26, 2021, at approximately 2pm, St Pierre-Jolys RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery at a financial institution located on Main Street in the community of Ile des Chenes.
Officers were advised that a lone male, carrying bear spray, entered the financial institution where he threatened the staff and demanded money. The suspect was provided a sum of cash and then fled the scene in what is believed to be a dark-red coloured four-door vehicle.
The suspect is described as male, approximately 6′ tall, having a slim build and blonde hair. At the time of the incident he was wearing a high visibility reflective vest, black and yellow coloured ear protection, black jacket and pants, brown boots and a black neck warmer pulled up over his face.

These items were found in the ditch near Dumaine Road and Poirier Road, approximately one kilometre east of Ile des Chenes.
